3:43 pm
my next up is the forces of nature museum and the clue is in the title here you can experience firsthand how natural forces impact the island the wind for example is pretty much moves mountains here or at least do. and storm tides there are extremely heavy on the beaches. every year winter storms and storm tides take a heavy toll on the coast the coastal protections are his words hard to make sure
3:44 pm
the island stays in this current shape and throughout the decades the methods they have for keeping the sand on the island have all greatly see for yourselves. first they build a growing i hope the waves would break on it before they hit land a good idea but it didn't work. the spit of land on salt southern tip is the most at risk their enormous tetrapods were installed on the beach in hopes of keeping the sand in place but the she was stronger now adays sand is retrieved from the sea ships suck it up off the coast like vacuum cleaners and pipelines pump it out to the beach that costs $46000000.00 euros a year. is an island in motion and that process really be stopped. i'm talking to dr m.i.t.'s tasso who runs the forces of nature museum. is it because it is known for its
3:45 pm
beautiful beaches that the sand keeps causing problems why is that. because the sand gets washed away by storm tides it is the it is prey to coastal erosion that is sand isn't washed up on to the beach the way it used to be and the beach doesn't grow but naturally get smaller because the same is carried away. by design and that's even worse when there are storm surges. so if you want to preserve the shoreline the sand has to be added to it every year as we're here and we do that with beach nourishment or sand reflection and force people what's it look like without human intervention doesn't mean it's in the nature of a coast to be in a state of flux everything changes it's only a question of time and then here owns those it's easy to see that if we didn't take measures to protect the coastline the island would continue to move toward the
3:46 pm
mainland that is eastwards. is that really the best solution i assume that the animals that live 10 kilometers from the coast are very different from those that live near the beach can this interference in the ecosystem become a problem. that's true it is interference but considering the alternative measures coastal and nature conservationists agree that this is the most environmentally friendly intervention. to take least i mean how is climate change affecting xit mulish because we have a rise in sea levels around salute. that means storm surges begin at a higher level because the basic sea level is already slightly higher we also notice a change in the species composition in the water and seeing national park. that may not be something tourists notice but those of us doing research here really see
3:47 pm
changes in the habitat. in the home. by the changes problematic. the term problematic is a very human viewpoint here to change is a part of life it's unstoppable that much is clear. on the one hand we have to consider how we can take climate protection measures where we have a human influence. vico on the other hand some of these alterations are irreversible and we have to adjust to them and make the best of the situation. on the. ones in general we as a civilization bear a great responsibility to deal with the environment more carefully than we have done in the past for the sake of future generations. to be. honest and that's what the free agents have always done define natural forces and
3:48 pm
adapt. thank you for talking to us thank you. be king of change children 1950 s. the friesian month flats where a natural habitat for all the stories but that changed suddenly when they were wiped out due to overfishing but now they're back. in 1086 deep meyer's i was stunned company began to revive oyster tradition oysters are no longer fish they're farmed this is germany's only oyster farm what now comes to your table as a suitor roy is an oyster species native to japan that's been introduced on so it's . been apparent airheads the oyster farms she's responsible for the well being of the shellfish. more than a 1000000 of them
3:49 pm
a year are harvested in list. in the spring the oysters are taken to the wild and see and stay there all summer so they can grow to a good size. need a lot of care the mesh sacks they are in have to be turned over and shaken daily. you don't feel this these are juveniles now as you can see they're still very small they need to go through a few more growth phases we take them in for the winter and put them out again in the summer to continue growing. this day is a unesco world heritage site so you can only get close to the oysters habitat on a guided tour otherwise it's off limits. the oyster spend the winter in a tank filled with sea water a sea water pipeline keeps them in the right environment.
3:50 pm
also in general people say that oysters taken out of cold water tastes better all but personally i like them the way nature delivers them. and if that's 20 degrees celsius they taste like oysters from 20 degree c. water and also the. and if you like them even hotter the royals can be steamed or baked and serve any number of toppings. to try them myself what an amazing selection but i'll start with the classic raw oyster. 10 times for the best flavor apparently. it's a good job i'm hungry. my buddies to finish one will love this place he's
