Nordsee mud ecosystem

I stayed in Nordenham, Germany with my friend Jens for a week, and we visited the North Sea two times. It is a fascinating ecosystem that is extremely important for many reasons. Have a look at this website for a better description. We had a guided tour, where we walked around and looked at the various organisms. It is a place incredibly rich in biodiversity, and is extremely important for migratory birds and seals. Thanks Jens for letting me stay, and for getting to feed the chickens.









The tide is as high as the pole during high tide. We went right at low tide, and observed the tide beginning to come in. This is quite rapid, and many people get lost at sea by wandering too far or swimming out too far during low tide. Especially on foggy days, one has no way of getting oriented in such a place.
