Royal Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. ~.~ ,., A 7f This article attempts to accountfor the coastal morphology south of Blavandshuk,western Jutland, Denmark.This coastal section is dominated by a barrier beach development, behind which lies the Danish part of the Wadden Sea. There is a description of the results of borings that were made in order to understand the dynamics at work since the very first offshore bar development. The effectof the changingsea-level since the Weichsel Glaciation, which has been accompanied by differenttidal conditions and stormfloods of varying magnitude during the past 3000-8000years is also described. The originand balanceofsediments is dealt with;especially the high sands and shoalsofthe DanishWaddenSea with particular reference to the evolution of the ebb-tide delta, Seren Jessens Sande, which is described in detail with the use of maps. Howand when its incorporation with the island of Fane took place is described. ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS: -Coastal morphology, sediment transport, sedimentary budget, barrier island, bar, shoal.

Skallingen lies above the Eem layer, located at minus 21.8 m DNN (Nordmann, 1928), and Manda above the black-brown Tertiary clay, located at minus 23.5 m DNN. On the other hand, Fane and R0m0 lie above trangression layers of gravels and stony sands located at minus 20 m DNN and minus 29 m DNN, respectively. The general pattern is the regular alternation of transgression and regression layers that occurs in all boring samples. The first change occurs between a depth of minus 8 m and minus 10 m DNN. The regression layer of clay or clayey sand is usually between 3-10 m thick located at a depth between minus 29 m and minus 14 m DNN. Finally, regression layers, usually comprising peat, are found everywhere in the horizons minus 7-8 m DNN and minus 4-5 m DNN. The barrier consists therefore of an interesting "sponge cake" reflecting the climatic fluctuations of the post-glacial era. However, the total picture lacks the effect of storm­ floods, which play their part in climatic fluctuations.

Eén van de taken die deze werk­ groep zich stelde was het samenstellen van een overzicht van de beschik­ bare documentatie over het totale Waddengebied, dus inclusief het Duitse en Deense gedeelte, met alle schiereilanden en kustgebieden, uitgezonderd het rotseiland Helgoland. Twee leden van de werkgroep, C. Swennen en Dr. V, Westhoff, hadden reeds een aantal titels verzameld, toen kort daarna aan Mw. M. Boekschoten door het Rijksinstituut voor Yeldbiologisch Onderzoek ten behoeve van het Natuurbehoud (R.I.V.O.N.) opdracht werd gegeven dit literatuuroverzicht samen te stellen. Uitgangspunt hierbij was het documentatiesysteem van het Rijksinsti­ tuut voor Natuurbeheer (toen nog R.I.V.O.N.); van de daarin gevonden pu- blikaties werden ook de literatuurverwijzingen nagegaan.

Further, an extension of Table 2.1of the nomination document, which entails major subdivisions of the landĉ and seascapes of the Wadden Sea Area, has been requested to reflect the major subdivisions of landscapes and seascapes within the nominated property. The extension of Table 2.1provides a full overview of the division of the land and seascapes for the nominated property, the Danish Wadden Sea Area and the remaining areas, a joint response has been formulated to both.

Optællingsprogrammet blev startet i 1995 og har haft fuldt omfang siden 1996. Fugleoptællingerne i den danske del af Vade- havet udføres under og finansieres af Miljøstyrelsens nationale overvågnings- program NOVANA, og resultaterne vil indgå i en senere samlet fuglerappor- tering fra NOVANA programmet. Det årlige optællingsprogram består af optælling af kolonirugende fugle, af nogle udvalgte fåtallige arter af vadefugle i hele Vadehavet og af alle vade- fugle og andre udvalgte vandfuglearter i en række kontrolområder. I Dan- mark er der 11 kontrolområder. Hvert sjette år, næste gang i 2018, udvides programmet til at inkludere alle ynglende vadefugle, måger og terner samt enkelte andre arter, der optælles på samtlige lokaliteter i Vadehavet.
