Threatened Wadden Sea: How the climate crisis affects it – Travel

The harbor of Tönning in the morning fog. A red brick granary, old houses and cobblestones leading to a dike where sheep graze. The view extends widely over the landscape characterized by ebb and flow. In Tönning the Eider flows into the Purrenstrom, in the southwest of which lies the Eider Barrier and behind it the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park. And as if sheep in the morning fog were too idyllic, a truck thunders over the Eider Bridge in the distance. The coexistence of nature and man-made makes the small town in North Frisia the ideal starting point to ask questions: for example, how global warming is affecting the Wadden Sea ecosystem. And whether it is threatened.
