Wadden Sea World Heritage launched Wadden Sea Quality Status Report 2017

Publication date: Thursday 01 February 2018

The new Wadden Sea Quality Status Report (QSR) is now available. Over the course of two years, more than 100 scientists have reviewed and evaluated the current ecological status of the entire Wadden Sea based on a trilateral monitoring programme carried out by Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. Scientists from NIOZ have contributed to the QSR as authors of thematic reports and as members of the editorial board.

The resulting 29 thematic reports of the new QSR provide an important scientific basis for decision making, policy development and management issues surrounding the UNESCO world natural heritage site.
