Wadden Sea National Park. Mandø is an island in the Wadden Sea, with a road connection to the mainland, Jutland, which can only be used at low tide twice a day. The Mandø bus has a timetable that is arranged after the tide. The bus is pulled by a tractor, and the route is marked with branches set down in the seabed. The picture is taken from the bus, showing the seabed with countless little sand dunes. Below each sand dune is a Lugworm. In the Wadden Sea there can be 70 Lugworms per m2. The Wadden Sea is very important as a place with forage for birds. The picture shows a lonely Eurasian Oystercatcher. In the background you can see Jylland. Nationalpark Vadehavet. Mandø er en ø i Vadehavet, med en vejforbindelse til fastlandet, Jylland, der kun kan benyttes ved lavvande 2 gange i døgnet. Mandø-bussen har en køreplan, der er indrettet efter tidevandet. Bussen trækkes af en traktor, og ruten er markeret med trægrene sat ned i havbunden. Billedet er taget fra bussen, og viser havbunden med utallige små sanddynger. Under hver sanddynge ligger en sandorm. I Vadehavet kan der være 70 sandorme pr m2. Vadehavet har meget stor betydning som er fourageringssted for fugle. På billedet ses en ensom Strandskade. I baggrunden ses Jylland.
