Skagerrak

The Skagerrak is a narrow body of water located between Denmark and Norway, connecting the North Sea to the Kattegat Sea near Sweden. It serves as an important marine passage for ships and supports regional maritime activities. The strait's waters are influenced by currents, tides, and saltiness, making it an active and vital part of Northern Europe's marine environment. Its strategic location also makes it significant for international shipping, naval operations, and economic trade in the surrounding countries. The Skagerrak's unique geographic position contributes to the broader North Atlantic maritime ecosystem.
