The Wadden Sea as a whole is threatened by five activities (threats which cannot be isolated into separate sections of the region): threats due to construct of dykes, threats due to port and industrial construction, threats from pollution, threats from mass tourism and recreational overuse, and threats due to drainage and over-grazing of saltmarshes.
Geographical Location The German section of the Wadden Sea coast is administratively divided between the länders of Schleswig Holstein (extending from the Danish border in the north to the estuary of the river Elbe) and Niedersächsen (extending westwards from the river Elbe to the Dutch border).
Local Human Population Man has used the fertile borderlands along the edge of the Wadden Sea for thousands of years and has constructed mounds (Halligen) on which houses were built.

 Royal Scandinavian Mint, Inc. -- Product Detail
The Wadden Sea extends along the coastline of Denmark, Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and the Netherlands, and is a unique marine coastal landscape where natural forces and human settlement have combined to form an unparalleled combination of sandbanks, dunes, salt-marshes and islands and one of the largest areas of tidal mudflats in the world.
The Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea also has Germany’s only breeding population of the Grey Seal, and its young are born on the sandbanks in winter.
Since 1986, the tidal flats, salt marshes and beaches along the Lower Saxonian coast and most parts of the East Frisian Islands are protected as a National Park to preserve the ecological process.

The recently adopted Wadden Sea Plan (1997) entails political agreements with regard to common policy and management of the Wadden Sea.

 Urgent action needed against oil spills in the Wadden Sea, says WWF WWF Suomi
In addition, WWF believes that a PSSA limited to the National Parks and protected areas of the Wadden Sea without the above mentioned measures and a buffer zone that includes the shipping lanes is certainly not sufficient.
The establishment of a PSSA in the Wadden Sea will bring heightened international awareness of environmental value, the introduction of additional measures to minimize potential environmental damage, and the recognition of local priorities by international interests.
WWF believes the Wadden Sea qualifies for PSSA designation on the basis of the area's ecological vulnerability, productivity, critical spawning and breeding grounds, and economic benefit, among other things.
