New islands built in Netherlands as nature reserves

Five new islands are now part of the Netherlands' landscape.
They are the country's latest reclaimed land project and have become a haven for birdlife.
But fishermen are not happy with the development.
Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen reports from Marker Wadden, Netherlands.

[@snowbear1877]

What do you mean by dialect? It's just a Dutch accent, not a dialect.

[@HYDROCARBON_XD]

@@snowbear1877most dialects are just that,if it is at least a bit mutually intelligible with the standard language and comes from it then it’s a dialect

[@jdj8168]

Thats funny, a lot of Dutch people hate the Dutch accent

[@ajmetz82]

Lol. Feel good news story turns into a "jepordising the same paradise they tried to create in the first place" story, lol. Emotional rollercoaster watching this, haha. Let's just hope for the best, =).

This represents EVERYTHING totally totally evil about the Dutch. The tax the living blood out of their poor citizens, and squander it on these stupid stupid unsustainable projects, that will eventually cost the lives of millions.

Guff where are you from?

[@guff9567]

@@stro189 I am from EVERYWHERE outside of da Netherlands. And I know ONE THING: * When da levee breaks, millions will die. And break it will. * Higher and higher they build it. * Lower and lower sink the dewatering, compacting sediments. * Higher and higher rises da global-warming sea level. * Meteorites, Earthquakes, Submarine landslides, Acts of terrorism, Rare storm-surges, Economic collapse, etc, etc all threaten da stability of da levee. Result: Millions dead, other countries swamped by nuisance Dutch refugees, a tidal wave washing 100s of km into German territory. TODAY's problem: Over taxed Dutchies with nothing to buy in their supermarkets but cheap marg, and bread baked with 3rd grade grain. We all remember 1 Feb 1953. And da Hun are just itching to get their boots in again, and rob da Semites, who're da economic soul of dat land. We are already being harassed by Dutchies who've figured this out and are flooding into our neighbouring lands, arriving with pisly worthless euros in their wallets, just to get away from their evil over-taxing regiering.

Just stupid remark at the end the marker meer was a dead body of water , no fish nothing lived there , now it does bring new live and more fish.remember this was land before the a great flood , after it was a sea we turned in to a lake and now back to nature.
