The Grevelingenmeer is the largest saltwater lake in Europe. It is closed off from tidal water by the Grevelingendam in the east and the Brouwersdam in the west and is therefore considered to be rather stagnant and often oxygen-free water where little underwater life can be expected. That the latter does not apply to all parts of the Grevelingenmeer is evident at Battenoord, where a large group of flamingos has been standing or coming to spend the winter for several years (2022). Some are deep pink, which means that they eat a lot of shrimp and indicates a rich underwater life. At Battenoord you can spot the flamingos near the harbor or at the mills and in recent years (since 2022) you can even spot three species of flamingos there: the European flamingo, Chilean flamingo and the Caribbean flamingo.
