........................................................................................................ 398 Cultural Entities page 4 SUMMARY This project provides a characterisation of the cultural heritage and in particular the historic landscape, of the Wadden Sea Region. The area has been sub-divided into 60 separate cultural entities which were identified and described by workers in their respective countries (The Netherlands, Federal Republic of Germany and Denmark). The cultural entities range from Kop van Noord Holland in the south to the Danish Wadden Sea islands in the north. They include the islands of the Wadden Sea, the Wadden Sea itself, the areas immediately adjoining the coast, and a number along the rivers and estuaries flowing into the Wadden Sea. The cultural entities are described through the historic development, of settlement patterns, flood defences, fields and the economy against a background of natural landscape characteristics. In addition the vulnerability and potential of the cultural heritage has been assessed and issues crucial to their conservation, and management identified. The synthesis provides an overview of the character of the cultural heritage of the Wadden Sea Region, identifies the over-arching vulnerabilities and potentials and suggests some future directions where a character based approach to conservation and management might be progressed.
