Resolution MEPC.101(48)

IDENTIFICATION OF THE WADDEN SEA AS A PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE SEA AREA

(Adopted on 11 October 2002)

 

 

THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION COMMITTEE,

 

BEING AWARE of the ecological, social, economic, cultural, scientific and educational value of the Wadden Sea, as well as its vulnerability to damage by international shipping traffic and activities in the area and the steps taken by Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands to address that vulnerability,

 

NOTING that the Guidelines for the Identification and Designation of Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas adopted under resolution A.927(22) set out procedures for the designation of particularly sensitive sea areas,

 

HAVING CONSIDERED the proposal from Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands to designate the Wadden Sea as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area,

 

HAVING AGREED that criteria for identification of a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area provided in resolution A.927(22) are fulfilled for the Wadden Sea,

 

1. DESIGNATES the Wadden Sea as defined in Annexes 1, 2 and 3 to this resolution as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area.

 

Annex 1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE SEA AREA WADDEN SEA CO-ORDINATES

 

a. Description

 

In order to avoid the risk of pollution and damage to this exceptional, highly dynamic tidal ecosystem of world importance, mariners should exercise extreme care when navigating in the area bounded by a line connecting the following geographical positions which is designated as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area and in the adjacent area:

 

The PSSA Wadden Sea is bordered:

 

Seawards:

by an offshore line defined by a set of geographical co-ordinates (see co-ordinates listed under c.),

Landwards:

by the main dikes, or where the main dikes are absent, by the spring-high-tidewater line, and in the rivers, by the brackish-water limit.

 

The inhabited islands are excluded from the PSSA. These islands are in:

 

Denmark:

Romo, Mande, Fano

Germany:

 

Schleswig-Holstein:

 

 

Pellworm, Nordstrandischmoor, Hooge, Grode, Langenefi-Oland, Fohr, Amrum, Sylt, Norderoog, Habel, Suderoog

Hamburg:

Neuwerk

Lower Saxony:

Borkum, Juist, Nordemey, Baltrum, Langeoog, Spiekeroog, Wangerooge

The Netherlands:

Texel, Vlieland, Terschelling, Ameland, Schiermonnikoog

 

b. Illustrative overview

 

The illustrative overview shows the different parts (1 - 12) of the offshore line of the proposed PSSA Wadden Sea. The numbers and names pointing to the different parts refer to the list of co-ordinates given in the tables under c.

 

 

c. List of geographical co-ordinates (projection WGS84) for the bordering offshore line of the proposed PSSA Wadden Sea

 

Denmark

 

The proposed PSSA in the Danish Wadden Sea is divided into a northern part and a southern part by the Esbjerg Harbour shipping lane and the outer area of Esbjerg Harbour.

 

Northern part (1)

 

The PSSA delimitation consists of 28 points with the following coordinates from Blaavandshuk to the shore north of Esbjerg Harbour.

 

Southern part (2)

 

The PSSA delimitation consists of 17 points with the following coordinates, from the shore south of Esbjerg Harbour to the borderline between Denmark and Germany territorial waters.
