Science as foundation

Science becomes a practical foundation for nature conservation. Science explains why salt marshes are important for rare insects, how haul-out sites of seals can be protected and how food resources for millions of migratory birds can be safeguarded.

Nature conservation effects everyone

Science often becomes involved in social and political conflicts when the needs of the local people who make their living around the Wadden Sea or visitors who spend their vacations there are effected.

Mankind and nature

The scientists hope to meet both the requirements of nature and of people when they make proposals for protecting the Wadden Sea. The Multimar Wattforum presents the scientific methods and results.

Science for better understanding

The Multimar Wattforum demonstrates how not only the Siberian Brent Geese, the harbor seal and the harbor porpoise, but also the surfers, the shrimp fishermen and the bathers enjoy life in harmony with nature.
