THE NATURAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE WADDEN SEA AFTER THE ENCLOSURE OF THE ZUIDER SEA

[摘要] The Wadden Sea and Zuider Sea used to form an internal sea which was separated from the North Sea by a chain of islands. In 1932 the Zuider Sea was enclosed by a dam 32 km in length. Owing to this, the Wadden Sea experienced changes in the normal tidal movement, the storm-surge levels and the configuration of the bed. This article discusses the movement of water and sand the Wadden Sea and its natural development since the enclosure of the Zuider.
