Einleitung Mehr als 30 Küstenvogelarten mit annähernd 400.000 Brutpaaren nutzen das Wat¬ tenmeer alljährlich zur Brut ( Fleet et al. 1994). Auch wenn das Wattenmeer damit das bedeutendste Brutgebiet für Küstenvögel in Mitteleuropa ist, beruht seine über¬ ragende internationale Bedeutung für Vögel in erster Linie auf seiner Funktion als „Drehscheibe" und „Tankstelle" auf dem ostatlantischen Zugweg. Ca. 10-12 Mio. Wasser- und Watvögel - meist Brutvögel der Arktis und Subarktis - nutzen das Ökosystem Wattenmeer alljährlich als Rast-, Mauser- und/oder Überwinterungsge¬ biet ( Meltofte et al. 1994). Für mindestens 52 geografisch getrennte Populationen von 41 Wasser- und Watvogelarten hat das Wattenmeer im Sinne der Ramsar-Kon¬ vention internationale Bedeutung. - Die 1971 in Ramsar/Iran unterzeichnete Kon¬ vention zum Schutz von Feuchtgebieten internationaler Bedeutung besagt, dass einem Feuchtgebiet internationale Bedeutung zukommt, wenn es entweder regel¬ mäßig 1 % der Vögel einer Population oder eines definierten Zugweges beherbergt oder aber mehr als 20.000 Wasser- und Watvögel (z. B. Davis 1996, Mitlacher 1997). - Vielen Arten bietet das Wattenmeer eine der wenigen Möglichkeiten, ihre Energie¬ reserven auf dem Frühjahrszug in die Brutgebiete (Fleimzug) wie auch auf dem Herbstzug in die Winterquartiere (Wegzug) aufzufüllen (z.

  • The Cultural Heritage of the Wadden Sea
    The Cultural Heritage of the Wadden Sea 1. Overview Name: Wadden Sea Delimitation: Between the Zeegat van Texel (i.e. Marsdiep, 52° 59´N, 4° 44´E) in the west, and Blåvands Huk in the north-east. On its seaward side it is bordered by the West, East and North Frisian Islands, the Danish Islands of Fanø, Rømø and Mandø and the North Sea. Its landward border is formed by embankments along the Dutch provinces of North- Holland, Friesland and Groningen, the German state of Lower Saxony and southern Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein. Size: Approx. 12,500 square km. Location-map: Borders from west to east the southern mainland-shore of the North Sea in Western Europe. Origin of name: ‘Wad’, ‘watt’ or ‘vad’ meaning a ford or shallow place. This is presumably derives from the fact that it is possible to cross by foot large areas of this sea during the ebb-tides (comparable to Latin vadum, vado, a fordable sea or lake). Relationship/similarities with other cultural entities: Has a direct relationship with the Frisian Islands and the western Danish islands and the coast of the Netherlands, Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein and south Denmark. Characteristic elements and ensembles: The Wadden Sea is a tidal-flat area and as such the largest of its kind in Europe. A tidal-flat area is a relatively wide area (for the most part separated from the open sea – North Sea ̶ by a chain of barrier- islands, the Frisian Islands) which is for the greater part covered by seawater at high tides but uncovered at low tides.

  • Change of Mean Tidal Peaks and Range Due to Estuarine Waterway Deepening
    Change of mean tidal peaks and range due to estuarine waterway deepening Hanz D. Niemeyer1 Abstract: The deepening of estuarine waterways enforces essential changes of mean tidal water level peaks and range. Legal requirements ask for their determination by preservation of evidence. A method has been established to evaluate these effects quantitatively by statistical tools for each measure, even in the case of subsequent deepenings. Intruction Deepening of estuarine waterways enforce there changes of tidal water levels. They start immediately after deepening but continue after execution of dredging for a certain per- iod of time being necessary for the development of a new dynamical equilibrium between estuarine geometry and tides. The order of magni- tude of changes of mean tidal water levels is particu- larly of importance for water management and eco- logical zonation but is also regarded as a primary indi- cation for changes of tidal currents, salinity and storm surge levels. Therefore the quantitative determination of changes of mean tidal Fig. 1: Elbe estuary, southern North Sea 1 Coastal Research Station of the Lower Saxonian Central State Board for Ecology, P.O.

This is not only necessary for planning purposes but also for the environmental assessment studies and for the later preservation of evidence procedure due to legal require- ments in Germany. Preservation of evidence gets increasingly difficult if subsequent deepen- ings have been carried out and their impacts are still continuing at the beginning of the suc- cessive one.

    Spiekeroog liegt in der Schulden-Rangliste vor Juist :: Aus der Region :: Aus der Region by JNN :: Juist Net News Aus der Region Aus der Region: Spiekeroog liegt in der Schulden-Rangliste vor Juist Beigetragen von S.Erdmann am 25. Nov 2011 - 14:46 Uhr Ist man es auf Juist bisher immer gewöhnt, dass unsere Insel auf dem ersten Platz liegt (beliebteste deutsche Insel, Anzahl der Sonnenstunden), so vermeldete die "Ostfriesen-Zeitung" nunmehr, dass Juist sich in der so genannten Schulden- Rangliste mit dem zweiten Platz begnügen muss. 1.851 Euro Schulden pro Kopf verzeichnete Juist, darüber liegt nur noch Spiekeroog mit 2.619 Euro. Auf dem dritten Platz dann Langeoog mit 1.778 Euro. Die Zahlen der Gesamtverschuldung der Gemeinden und Städten wurden von den Landkreisen Aurich, Leer, Wittmund und der kreisfreien Stadt Emden bereitgestellt. Die Daten über die Bevölkerungsstärke kamen vom Landesbetrieb für Statistik und Kommunikation Niedersachsen. Stand ist jeweils der 31. Dezember 2010. Die Zahlen wurden nunmehr in der Ausgabe vom 24. November der "Ostfriesen-Zeitung" veröffentlicht. Als Grund für das über zwei Millionen Euro große Defizit Spiekeroogs nennt Bürgermeister Ralf Fiegenheim die Insellage. Seine Aussage gilt auch für die anderen Inseln: "Die Auf- und Ausgaben der Gemeinde stehen nicht im Verhältnis zu der Zahl der Einwohner. Vor allem die durch den Tourismus geforderte Infrastruktur ist sehr kostspielig." Der Tourismus ist jedoch unbestrittener Motor der Insel, denn es stehen für Urlauber mehr als 3.500 Betten bereit. Bei voller Belegung kämen also auf jeden Spiekerooger etwa vier Touristen. Das relativiert das Defizit. Norderney ist mit 1.804.859 Euro ähnlich hoch verschuldet wie Spiekeroog, doch dadurch, dass die Insel mit ungefähr 6.000 Menschen wesentlich mehr Einwohner hat, verteilt sich die Schuldenlast dort ganz anders: Nur 310 Euro pro Kopf.
