An international survey of migratory waterbirds is taking place this month along the East Atlantic Flyway, one of the world’s most important migration corridors.

A new comprehensive report has been published assessing capacity for waterbird monitoring along the African part of the East Atlantic Flyway and proposing a framework for strengthening and sustaining this capacity for the future. 

New national research into the awareness of UNESCO World Heritage shows that once again the Wadden Sea is the best-known World Heritage Site in the Netherlands.

CWSS participated in the 9th Session of the Meeting of the Parties to the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement.

The event aimed to support long-term scientific capacity along the flyway and explore how academic collaboration could be strengthened.

The 2025 survey recorded a total of 23,954 moulting harbour seals and 10,044 harbour seal pups.

From 5–7 November, educators and interpreters from across the Wadden Sea gathered in Denmark for the annual IWSS workshop.
