The definitions of the notions ‘bio-indicator’ and ‘water quality’ are critically reviewed; it is shown that both have been used ambiguously.The quality of the Wadden Sea is discussed using a number of indicators for pollution effects; the Wadden Sea is now an unsuitable environment for a number of marine mammals, and, to a lesser extent, for some bird species. It cannot be shown whether or not this pollution has any effect on r-selective species.
