Blauort

Blauort is an uninhabited sandbank in the North Sea off the coast of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is part of the tidal shoals of the German Bight and is significant for navigation and coastal habitats.

The site is not a conventional visitor destination; it is notable for its exposed mudflats and sand at low tide and for birdlife that uses the shoal. It is of interest mainly to mariners, coastal ecologists and those studying the Wadden Sea environment.

The sandbank has formed and shifted through natural tidal and sedimentary processes and has long been charted for maritime safety. A fixed daymark has been maintained on or near the shoal as a navigational reference.

Blauort lies in the southern North Sea off the Schleswig-Holstein coast of northern Germany, offshore from the mainland North Sea coast and within the broader Wadden Sea area.

• Tidal sandbank: An uninhabited intertidal sandbank in the North Sea that is exposed at low tide and submerged at high tide.
