The Danish Straits refer to a group of waterways located between the islands of Denmark and the northern coast of Germany. These straits include the Öresund, the Great Belt, and the Little Belt, which connect the Baltic Sea to the North Sea. They are significant for maritime navigation, allowing ships to travel between these two major bodies of water. The straits also play a crucial role in regional trade and transportation. The Öresund Bridge, which connects Denmark and Sweden, is a notable infrastructure project in the area. Additionally, the straits are important for the local ecosystem, supporting various marine life and habitats.
