🌊 Tidal Flats of the World

These are notable tidal flats — the mud and sand shores between the high and low water marks, exposed twice a day and among the most productive habitats on earth, feeding migrating waders and geese, from the Wadden Sea and the great flats of the Bristol Channel to the mangrove-fringed mudbanks of the tropics. Each profile shows where the flat lies, which country it is in, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.
