Messstation, Lower Saxon Wadden Sea National Park

The Hydrographic Measuring Station Spiekeroog is a hydrographic measuring station of the Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Sea of the Carl-von-Ossietzky-University Oldenburg and is located in the Wadden Sea of the North Sea directly in front of the southwestern end of the island Spiekeroog. The monitoring station was established in 2002 in the Schillbalje at a water depth of 13 meters and is the first of a series of planned monitoring stations in the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park. In 2012, the University of Oldenburg was awarded the North German Science Prize for the significant research carried out here. Since 2018, it has been part of the ICBM's Spiekeroog Coastal Observatory.
