There is a very special experience in venturing out onto the mudflats to collect oysters. Here, the landscape opens up, allowing you to "stretch" your eyes, and while you gather oysters, you might be lucky enough to enjoy the sight of resting migratory birds and seals.
The Wadden Sea is known as a rich larder. Especially the many migratory birds benefit from the abundant food supply, but the invasive Pacific oyster has also quickly made itself at home here. In recent years, Pacific oysters have spread massively in the Wadden Sea, where they have particularly good growth and spawning conditions. So now it attracts not only birds but also people who have developed a taste for these delicate shellfish to the Wadden Sea.
