A small part of France is situated on the North Sea. The coast between Calais and the Belgian border consists of sandy beaches with dunes. The North Sea narrows and the sea is full of ships. Also, there is the port of Dunkirk, the third port of France. Nevertheless, this coast is an important habitat for birds.
