The port of Hamburg is the third busiest port in Europe and 15th-largest worldwide. In 2014, 9.73 million TEUs (20-foot standard container equivalents) were handled in Hamburg, all ships passing through the German bight and the river Elbe to reach the port located 110 km distance from the North Sea. Between the coast and the open North Sea, the Wadden Sea is the largest unbroken system of intertidal sand and mud flats in the world. It is a large, temperate, relatively flat coastal wetland environment, formed by the intricate interactions between physical and biological factors that have given rise to a multitude of transitional habitats with tidal channels, sandy shoals, sea-grass meadows, mussel beds, sandbars, mudflats, salt marshes, estuaries, beaches and dunes. +The German Bight and the river Elbe estuary are highly impacted by anthropogenic pressures, and, at the same time, comprise a very sensitive ecosystem including the UNESCO World heritage Wadden Sea.
