The cultural and recreational values of Natural Capital in the Wadden Sea

An analysis of social media to assess the importance of natural land- and seascapes for recreation and tourism

Conducted by the Waddenacademie in the framework of Interreg project PROWAD Link, this report addresses the question of what attracts local people and visitors from further afield to the trilateral Wadden Sea region using open-source data obtained from social media platform Flickr.  In conjunction with this report, an interactive online application was developed with which the trilateral Wadden Sea region can be explored digitally for landscape aspects that are important for tourism and recreation.
