Looking out over the Wadden from the dike at Noordpolderzijl, Groningen province, The Netherlands. The Wadden Sea lies between the coast of northwestern continental Europe and the range of low-lying Frisian Islands, forming a shallow body of water with tidal flats and wetlands. It has a high biological diversity and is an important area for both breeding and migrating birds. In 2009, the Dutch and German parts of the Wadden Sea were inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List and the Danish part was added in June 2014. The Wadden Sea stretches from Den Helder, in the northwest of the Netherlands, past the great river estuaries of Germany to its northern boundary at Skallingen in Denmark along a total coastline of some 500 km (310 mi) and a total area of about 10,000 km2 (3,900 sq mi). Within the Netherlands it is bounded from the IJsselmeer by the Afsluitdijk. Historically, the coastal regions were often subjected to large floods, resulting in thousands of deaths, including the Saint Marcellus' flood of 1219, Burchardi flood of 1634 and Christmas Flood of 1717. Some of these also significantly changed the coastline.Numerous dikes and causeways have been built,and as a result recent floods have resulted in few or no fatalities (even if some dikes rarely and locally have been overrun in recent history). This makes it among the most human-altered habitats on the planet.

Een fietser passeert de dijk bij Schokland-Haven. Het voormalige Zuiderzee eiland Schokland maakt sinds het in 1942 droog kwam te liggen door de inpoldering van de Noordoostpolder onderdeel uit van het vaste land. In 1955 is het voormailge eiland vanwege de archeologische rijkdom en geschiedenis op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO geplaatst. Schokland ligt tussen de dorpen Nagele en wordt beheerd door stichting Het Flevolandschap |||| A cyclist passes the dike at Schokland-Haven.

Ferry and toll house Pinkeveer in the Dutch village of Giessenburg, municipality of Molenlanden, Alblasserwaard, South Holland. The large building was built in 1912. Next to the front door is a sign with the toll rates of the past. In the background, the white posts of the toll gate that has now disappeared are visible, as well as the bridge that replaced the original ferry service in 1863. The photo was taken on a cloudy winter day.
