The AWI`s Wadden Sea Station in List on the island of Sylt is the northernmost research center in Germany. Located within walking distance of the Wadden Sea, it offers the ideal point of departure for research at sea, in the intertidal zone, or in the station`s own laboratories.
45 persons work at the AWI`s facilities on Sylt: Scientists of the department Coastal Ecology and service staff members.
The station`s conference rooms are regularly used for scientific workshops and seminars. In addition, each year roughly 400 students visit the AWI on Sylt, taking part in one-week courses to deepen their understanding of the Wadden Sea ecosystem.
Emerged from a small field station for Oyster Research founded in 1924 the Wadden Sea Station Sylt can look back on a long history and proud research tradition as part of the Biologische Anstalt Helgoland. Just like the AWI`s Helgoland site, on Sylt ecological time series are recorded, and the resultant data are made available to government offices, professional associations, and research institutes.
