Dollart

The Dollart (German name, pronounced [ˈdɔlaʁt]) or Dollard (Dutch name, pronounced [ˈdɔlɑrt]) is a bay in the Wadden Sea between the northern Netherlands and Germany, on the west side of the estuary of the Ems river.

[3][4][5] The Dollart was created as a slow inundation over many centuries[6] which accumulated in a storm surge in 1509.

Nowadays the unembanked forelands have been declared world natural heritage, as they are a paradise for all kinds of birds and other aquatic species.

[9] Around 2011, the territorial dispute gained relevance with plans for the Borkum Riffgat offshore wind farm.

[10] The question about use and administration of the territorial waters between 3 and 12 nautical miles (where the wind farm is located) was settled with another treaty in 2014 by defining a "line", while the border dispute itself remained unresolved.
