What are the current trends in tourism and general and nature-based tourism in particular?

As the Wadden Sea World Heritage is one ecosystem shared by three countries, Entrepreneurs, destination marketing organisations and local government also share the same challenges.

On 15 September 2019 Bernard Baerends took up his post as the new Executive Secretary to the Common Wadden Sea Secretariat (CWSS) in Wilhelmshaven.

“Only those who know, understand and appreciate the Wadden Sea can protect this World Heritage site.” This statement was the core of this year’s Wadden Sea Day.

This digital leaflet wants to raise the awareness of drone operators for the special values of the Dutch Wadden Sea World Heritage area.

The newly granted project Waddentools – Swimway Waddenzee directly derives from the trilateral Swimway Action Programme.

The Wadden Sea Board endorsed a SWIMWAY Action Programme, through which activities will be taken such as the identification of population bottlenecks and the translation of this knowledge into effective management and conservation measures.
