Friday 19 March 2021 Where Mud matters The current mud dynamics in the Wadden Sea are strongly influenced by human activities and interventions, including dredging waterways and the use of mud for land reclamation. In this context, mud is understood to mean sediment with a grain size of less than 63 micrometers. For the trilateral Wadden Sea, a good insight into the mud balance is lacking. The Wadden Academy and Programme towards a Rich Wadden Sea (PRW) asked Deltares to start a study on this. Where does the mud come from, what happens to the mud in the Wadden Sea and what are the possible consequences of human intervention. This report Where Mud matters – Towards a Mud Balance for the Trilateral Wadden Sea Area: Mud supply, transport and deposition provides the first mud balance for the trilateral Wadden Sea.
