The unique nature of the unesco-protected Frisian mudflats is a very special place. A marine mudflat is a mud or sandflat formed in a shallow sea, with a height between the normal low and high tide level of a flat tidal area. The international Wadden Sea is regarded worldwide as the largest tidal area where processes of ebb and flow can take place more or less undisturbed. It is a shallow sea with bottom sand stirred up from the North Sea by sea currents. Because a mudflat is flooded twice a day by the tide, the currents take mud with them. At high tide, it settles in quiet places.
