  "text": "Various species of wader and duck such as the oystercatcher and the gadwall use Slikken van Voorne in the Voordelta as a resting and foraging area. The Voordelta is becoming increasingly important for their continued existence as a result of diminishing habitats elsewhere, such as the sandbanks of the Oosterschelde where these migrant birds rest and feed.\nRecreational activities in their direct vicinity, both on beaches and on the water, disturb these birds, which are particularly sensitive to noise and sudden movement. This problem is growing, as the recreational season is becoming longer and longer. Measures restricting access to Slikken van Voorne are designed to achieve conservation targets set out in the Voordelta Designation Decree for ducks and waders.",
