Abstract
Since 1978, The Netherlands, Denmark and Germany have been working together on the protection and conservation of the Wadden Sea covering management, monitoring and research. The aim of the Trilateral Monitoring and Assessment Program (TMAP) is to provide a scientific assessment of the status and development of the Wadden Sea ecosystem and and to assess the status of implementation of the trilateral Targets of the Wadden Sea Plan. On basis of expert workshops, integrated data handling and inter-calibration exercises GIS data on Wadden Sea habitats, like salt marshes, blue mussel beds and dunes could be successfully integrated into the de-centrally organized trilateral data handling of the TMAP. Results are published in the Quality Status Report (QSR) Wadden Sea.
