The Polderboard De Waadkant is charged with watermanagement of north Fryslân province along the Waddenzee (see map on this site), with its seat in Stiens. It was founded in 1997 by the merger of the Polderboards 'Noardlik Westergoa' en 'Tusken Waed en Ie'.

The blue chief symbolizes the Wadden-area. The clover refers to the penetrating sea being repelled by land. Clover was also one of the elements of the arms of former polderboard 'Tusken Waed en Ie'. In the chief there is also a yellow six-pointed star, which may be interpreted as the position of the Polderboard, and also as reference to the seat of the board: the village of Stiens (in Leeuwarderadeel).
The two rings with crosses are a compromise of the comparable elements from the arms of both former polderboards.
