Wetlands are the wet nature reserves in the Netherlands. The Wetland treaty was signed at Ramsar in Iran on February 2, 1971. The purpose of the Ramsar Convention is to protect wetlands and the associated plant and animal species. “Wetlands” or “wet land” is officially defined according to the Ramsar Convention as: ‘Water rich areas, marshes, fens, peat or peat areas, natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water stationary or running, fresh, brackish or salt, including seawater, the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six metres’. This includes the coastal and coastal areas adjacent to wetlands and islands or seawater areas situated within these areas. There are 44 wetlands in the Netherlands.湿地（Wetlands）是荷兰境内的湿地类自然保护地。《湿地公约》（Wetland treaty）于1971年2月2日在伊朗拉姆萨尔签署。《拉姆萨尔公约》（Ramsar Convention）的宗旨为保护湿地及其相关动植物物种。根据《拉姆萨尔公约》，“湿地”或“湿地区域”的官方定义为：“天然或人工、永久或临时的富水区域，包括沼泽、沼原、泥炭地或泥炭区域，水体可为静止或流动状态，盐度涵盖淡水、半咸水及咸水，还包括低潮时水深不超过6米的近岸海域及海水区域”。该定义涵盖毗邻湿地的近岸区域、岛屿及上述区域内的海水区域。荷兰境内现有44处湿地。
