As part of the Eemshaven-Delfzijl dike reinforcement, the province of Groningen and the Noorderzijlvest water board developed a new type of dike: the Double Dike. The Double Dike consists of a higher dike on the waterfront and a lower dike inland. The two dikes together protect us from high water. The rising sea level was taken into account when developing this sustainable dike. The Double Dike is not only good for our safety, but also for nature, agriculture and recreation.

Milestones:

• Reinforcement of the sea dike and construction of a second dike
• First initiatives for salt-tolerant cultivation and aquaculture
• Start of the Wadden Fund project Understanding the salty clay soil
• Start of the Wadwier project: 2023 Start of construction of a tidal culvert
• Preparation for construction of a culvert
