my next stop 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 protection service works hard to make sure the island stays in its current shape throughout the decades the methods they have for keeping the sand on the island have all greatly see for yourselves. first they built a growing and hoped 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 sea was stronger now adays sand is retrieved from the sea ship suck it up off the coast like back in cleaners and pipelines pump it onto the beach that costs $46000000.00 euros a year. suit is an island in motion and that process really be stops i'm talking to dr. who runs the forces of nature museum. is it because it is known for its beautiful beaches but the sand keeps causing problems why is that. because the sand gets washed away by storm tides 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 gets smaller because the sand is carried away. the muck lying up

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 well here and we do that with beach nourishment or sand replenishment for you what's it look like without human intervention doesn't it's in the nature of a coast to be in a state of flux everything changes it's only a question of time 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 mainland that is eastwards. is that really the best solution eyes. the 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. and that is 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 zoot i mean that we have a rise in sea levels around sort. that means a storm surge is big 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 i'm seeing national park. that may not be something tourists know that but those of us doing research here really see changes in the habitat. stocked. in the home. by the changes problematic. because of 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. vehicle on the other hand some of these alterations are

irreversible and we have to adjust to them and make the best of the situation. once in general we as a civilization there are 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 adapt. if you think you're talking to us thank you. speaking of change the 1950s the friesian month flats were a natural habitat for all the stars but that changed suddenly when they were wiped out due to overfishing but now they're back.

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 oysters spend the winter in a tank filled with sea water a sea water pipeline keeps them in the right environment. they. all star 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. if you like them even hotter can be
