Voordelta
The Voordelta is a unique coastal area that stretches from Zeeland to the South Holland islands and is known as the delta where the major rivers flow into the sea. The ebb and flow create temporary islands in the water, providing resting and feeding places for many birds, seals, and fish. The area is home to a great diversity of worms, shellfish, crabs, and shrimps, making it a banquet for the tens of thousands of birds that live there.

The Voordelta is a unique coastal area that stretches from Zeeland to the South Holland islands and is known as the delta where the major rivers flow into the sea. The ebb and flow create temporary islands in the water, providing resting and feeding places for many birds, seals, and fish. The area is home to a great diversity of worms, shellfish, crabs, and shrimps, making it a banquet for the tens of thousands of birds that live there.
The Voordelta is an important nursery for many fish species, such as plaice, sole, flounder, dab, cod, and herring. The coastal area of the Voordelta is of great importance on a European scale and has therefore been designated as a Natura 2000 area. This means that rare or vulnerable animals and habitats receive extra protection. In the Voordelta, resting areas and a seabed protection area have been established to protect nature.
Discover the unique nature of the Voordelta and explore the beauty of this special area. From the air, you can see the delta structure and beneath the water's surface, you will find deep channels and shallow areas.
