Jade Bight

Map showing Jade Bay (Jadebusen) at lower center
Development of the Jade Bight and the interim Weser delta:
• blue areas = advancement of waterbodies
• green areas = growth of land
• grayish pale blue areas = sometimes flooded
• grayish lilac areas = newly gained land lost again
• grayish pink areas = regained land lost again
• brown to red lines = dikes
• bold intensive light blue line = today's coastline
• light blue lines = today's limit of mudflats
• bold pale blue lines = limit of mudflats c. 1810
• dirty lilac lines = limit of mudflats c. 1645
• light pink to light lilac, ocre and light green lines = geological soil borders.
Greenish coloured areas (except the few bluish green ones) represent new won land. Regaining of losses mostly is marked only by the dikes.

The Jade Bight[1][2] (or Jade Bay;[3] German: Jadebusen) is a bight or bay on the North Sea coast of Germany. It was formerly known simply as Jade or Jahde. Because of the very low input of freshwater, it is classified as a bay rather than an estuary.[4]
