South of the Baltic Sea island of Poel and north of the Hanseatic city of Wismar lies the 8.65 hectare island of Walfisch, almost in the middle of the Wismar Bay. It is about 500 m long and about 300 m wide, very flat and a habitat for many sea and shore birds, which find enough rest here to nest and breed undisturbed by people.

Walfisch is quite inaccessible in the Baltic Sea, so that a wonderful bird sanctuary could develop here. Trespassing is also strictly prohibited in order to ensure that the island continues to be an outstanding paradise for the feathered animals, which find a rich saline flora as a valuable food source in the shallow and often flooded shore areas. Walfisch is looked after ornithologically by the Langenwerder e.V. association, which also looks after the island of Langenwerder north of Poel and has recorded breeding pairs of oystercatchers, mute swans, greylag geese, cormorants and eider ducks on Walfisch, as well as gulls and terns, which live in entire colonies populate the island.
