The Unesco has added the shrimp fishermen on horseback of Oostduinkerke to the world list of intangible cultural heritage in December 2013. Shrimp fishing on horseback is a form of traditional craftsmanship closely connected with nature: good knowledge of the sea, the sand strip and a high level of trust and respect for the horse are essential. Fishing for shrimp with a horse-drawn drag net in the shallow water is only possible on a flat, very gently sloping coastline.
