Easy access to (Dutch) Wadden Data & information

Basismonitoring Wadden is an initiative to obtain an integrated, system-oriented view of the condition and trends in this unique natural area. We are a collaboration of various (governmental) organizations who contribute to monitoring the Wadden Area. From nutrients and benthos to comprehensive well-being of inhabitants. The Dutch Wadden Sea is an LTSER site (LTSER Dutch Wadden Sea Area - Netherlands | DEIMS-SDR). It itself consists of intertidal mudflats and subtidal areas. The southern border of the area consists of inhabited polders, many of which consist of reclaimed saltmarsh areas. The Dutch Wadden Sea is part of the international Wadden Sea, extending along the coasts of Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. The international Wadden Sea comprises the largest tidal flats system in the world. Our aim is to provide insight into the condition and trends of the Wadden Sea area and to promote effective and efficient monitoring. We are involved in het Expert Group Data of the Trilateral Monitoring and Assenment Program to enhance data sharing between the three Wadden countries. We make Wadden data findable and accessible in a “Waddenregister” with Datahuiswadden.nl as a starting point
