Our beautiful Waddenzee

The word wad comes from the Latin word vadum. The Waddensea (Shallow Waters) is the living area of many sea animals such as fish, seals and even birds that come to eat food. The Waddensea is found in the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. The Waddensea is also a great recreation place where you can walk when the sea is at its lowest point. Because you’re not allowed to go wad walking(what this walking is called) by yourself you obviously have to go guide there is a special Centrum for walking in the Wadloopcentrum in Pieterburen. In some places you are not allowed to walk any more because they are protected. The mainly reason the Waddensea is protected is of the amount of the so called “blackspots” that cause the oxygen level to decrease and killing many animals. What is also very bad for the environment is the drilling on earth gas. Also important in de Waddensea are the mudflats(wetlands that form when mud is deposited by the tides or rivers, sea and oceans) where many animals live or are gathering food. However, because the rising of the sealevel it is changing the places for some specific animals to live in.
Our opinions of the Waddensea: we think that the government should look better after the environment including the Waddensea. If you start small maybe that is all you need to make the world a better place including animals and people.
