Academic Engagement with Wadden Sea Stakeholders: A Review of Past Foci and Possible Futures

Academic engagement with Wadden Sea stakeholders has been limited and lacks comprehensive representation of key stakeholder groups, despite the site's UNESCO World Heritage status. A review reveals that existing studies often focus on singular, categorized stakeholder 'groups' without integrating transboundary perspectives or addressing UN Sustainability Goal 14, a critical target for environmental protection. The analysis highlights gaps in academic work, providing guidance for future research to ensure more inclusive and globally relevant studies in this ecologically significant region.
