Yatsu-higata
National Wildlife Protection Areas
Yatsu-higata is a tidal flat, which spans around 40 hectares, located in the extreme end of Tokyo Bay. It is designated as National Wildlife Protection Areas and many species of wildlife including shorebirds, sandworms, shellfish, crabs and plankton inhabit the flat and live in accordance with the tidal waters. The site is a very important stopover area for migratory birds such as plovers and sandpipers, which travel between Northern areas such as Siberia and Alaska, and Southern areas such as South East Asia and Australia. On June 10, 1993, it became the first tidal flat in Japan to be designated as an official site of Ramsar Convention. Also in 1996, it was included in the Flyway Site Network under the Partnership for the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, an international initiative to protect migratory shorebirds.
