Yerseke is a small village located in the province of Zeeland in the southwestern part of the Netherlands. Situated on the southern shore of the Eastern Scheldt estuary, Yerseke is renowned for its rich maritime heritage and thriving aquaculture industry. The village has a long-standing tradition of oyster and mussel cultivation, which has been a significant part of its economy and cultural identity for centuries.

The coastal landscape surrounding Yerseke is characterized by tidal flats, salt marshes, and the intricate network of waterways that make up the Zeeland delta. This unique environment has not only shaped the village's primary industries but also contributes to its distinct natural beauty.

Yerseke's cultural significance is deeply rooted in its connection to the sea. The village is home to several historical buildings and landmarks that reflect its maritime past, including old fishermen's houses and former oyster warehouses. The local harbor, still active with fishing boats and aquaculture vessels, serves as a focal point for both industry and tourism.

While Yerseke may be small in size, it plays a considerable role in the Netherlands' seafood industry. The village is often referred to as the "mussel capital" of the country, hosting an annual mussel festival that celebrates this local delicacy and attracts visitors from across the region.

For those interested in the area's natural and cultural history, Yerseke offers opportunities to learn about the delicate balance between human activity and the marine ecosystem. Visitors can explore the nearby nature reserves, take guided tours of the oyster and mussel beds, or visit local museums that showcase the village's maritime heritage.
