- 1Salt marshes along Frisian Wadden coast help protect against sea level rise▼Nederlandse kustnatuur komt goed van pas bij zeespiegelstijging en storm Zoute kwelders langs de Friese Waddenkust spele
Research by Deltares, NIOZ and partners shows that salt marshes along the Dutch Wadden coast in Friesland play a crucial natural role in coastal protection. The marshes dampen waves and reduce flood risk, meaning Dutch coastal nature is proving valuable in the face of rising sea levels and more severe storms, strengthening the case for nature-based flood defences.
