		The Frisian Islands form an archipelago in northwestern Europe that spreads across the coasts of three countries, from west to east, The Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark.
		These islands along with the mainland coast in the German Bight form the region of Frisia, traditional homeland of the Frisian people.
		Most of it is protected, and an international wildlife nature reserve is being coordinated between the three countries; gas and oil drilling continue, however, and the presence of the Ems, Weser and Elbe estuaries and the ensuing ship traffic cause tension between wildlife protection and economics.
