Holland's Barriers to The Sea
The Delta Works in the Netherlands (Holland) is the largest flood protection project in the world. This project consists of a number of surge barriers, for examples:
1- The Oosterscheldekering is the largest of the 13 ambitious Delta Works series of dams and storm surge barriers and it is the largest surge barrier in the world, 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) long. The dam is based on 65 concrete pillars with 62 steel doors, each 42 metres wide. It is designed to protect the Netherlands from flooding from the North Sea.
2- The Maeslantkering is a storm barrier with two movable arms; when the arms are open the waterway remains an important shipping route however when the arms close a protective storm barrier is formed for the city of Rotterdam. Closing the arms of the barrier is a completely automated process done without human intervention.

Summer in the Biesbosch, the Netherlands | vLog #7 | Nature Travel Guide
I enjoy visiting the Biesbosch at different times of the year. In the winter there are overwintering birds such as geese, ducks and waders. In the summer the resident Spoonbills, beavers and other wildlife can still be seen.
This video is in 1080HD.

(The last beaver was killed in the Netherlands in 1826. At the end of the 19th century there were only five populations of beaver remaining in Europe. Reintroductions are an important part of European conservation policy. Between 1988 and 1991 42 beavers were translocated from the Elbe, in Germany, to the Biesbosch. After an initial struggle, which is typical with translocated species, the population is now doing well.)
