Beschrijving
The Maadesiel is the water barrier structure, which regulates the water influence of the river "Maade" in the North Sea. The landscape around the Maadesiel is not very attractive, as it is surrounded by the oil port and a coal-fired power station. The shore of the North Sea is completely concreted in this area, so that it only serves as a habitat for Steenloper. When the water runs off, however, a few sand / silt areas fall free on the lake side of the Maadesiel, which are suitable for bird watching. There you can especially see gulls (Grote Mantelmeeuw, Zilvermeeuw, Stormmeeuw etc.), Which like to concentrate there. There are also older records of Grote Burgemeester and Kleine Burgemeester from this area. Otherwise, Scholekster, Wulp or Tureluur like to look for food there. A little further north is the cooling water outlet of the coal-fired power plant. Many seagulls are also concentrated there. In this area along the Maade there is also a suspicion of breeding Roodmus. On the sea side you can see terns (Visdief, Grote Stern, etc.) very well, and under certain weather conditions even skuas.

You can park directly at Maadesiel and explore the area on foot. It is also possible to cycle along the dike, from the Jade-Weser container port in the north to the "Seefrieden" memorial in the south.
