Marine mammals

Three species are regarded as indigenous in the Wadden Sea: the harbour seal, grey seal and the harbour porpoise. Occasionally, other species of marine mammals visit the Wadden Sea or strand along the coastline.  Human activities such as fishery, habitat degration and noise pollution threatens marine mammals.
