英文摘要	The world's coasts and deltas are progressively threatened by climate change and human activities. The degree at which coastlines can adapt to these changes strongly depends on the sediment availability. The availability of muddy sediments is however poorly known. This study aims at developing a mud budget for the world's largest system of uninterrupted tidal flats: the Wadden Sea. The resulting mud budget is nearly closed: similar to 12 million ton/year enters the system on its western end, similar to 1.5 million ton/year is added by local rivers, while similar to 12 million ton annually deposits or is extracted by anthropogenic activities. A mud deficit already exists in the downdrift areas, which will only become more pronounced with increased sea level rise rates. Mud is thus a finite resource similar to sand, and should be treated as such in sediment management strategies. Resolving future challenges will therefore require a cross-border perspective on sediment management.
