On invitation of the
Nationalparkverwaltung (the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park
Authority), the Institute of Avian Research and the Common Wadden
Sea Secretariat, leading experts from all Wadden Sea countries met
at a workshop in the Wattenmeerhaus on 31 August 2006 in
Wilhelmshaven, the residence of all three organisations.
Since the beginning of the eighties, water birds have been monitored
in the entire Wadden Sea, in a close spatial and temporal pattern,
mostly by hundreds of voluntary counters. Only this long-term and
successful way of monitoring has facilitated the identification of
development trends. The evaluation of the data gathered in the
period from 1980 to 2000, in the framework of the Trilateral
Monitoring and Assessment Program (TMAP) between Denmark, Germany
and The Netherlands, which has been coordinated by the Common Wadden
Sea Secretariat, had alerted the scientists and was the cause for
the workshop held in Wilhelmshaven.
