Germany's Wadden Sea mudflats named World Heritage site

Germany's Wadden Sea has been added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. The decision was announced Friday at the World Heritage Committee's annual meeting in Seville, Spain. Germany and the Netherlands registered the Wadden Sea, a tidal wetlands area on their northern coasts, as a contender for the UNESCO World Heritage title at the beginning of 2008. Friday's announcement makes the nature reserve the first one in Germany to be awarded the status.
