Kampensnieuwland

The Veerse Gatdam is a man-made barrier across the former estuary known as the Veerse Gat, between Walcheren and Noord-Beveland islands in Zeeland, Netherlands. The barrier was completed on 27 April 1961. Because of the completion of this barrier, the Veerse Meer was created. The Veerse Gatdam is the third structure constructed as part of the Delta Works water management system. The N57 motorway runs along the top of the barrier. The barrier is 2.8 km (1.7 mi) long and connects the island of Walcheren with Noord-Beveland. The barrier was partly built as a with asphalt coated dike on the Plaat van Onrust, a former sandbar. For the remaining parts, sinkable passing caissons were used. For the construction of these caissons, a dock was constructed between Veere en Vrouwenpolder. The caissons contain openings, so that the tide could keep going on, while building the barrier. With this it was prevented that the current would keep on getting stronger as the construction progressed. Only at the end of construction, were the sliders simultaneously lowered, by which the barrier was closed in one instant.By building the Veerse Gatdam, the town of Veere was no longer connected with the open sea. The fishing fleet of Veere had to be relocated before the completion of the barrier to the nearby village of Colijnsplaat. The Veerse Meer is currently a popular aquatics location, particularly for windsurfing. On the north side of the dam, a large recreational beach has been created.The closing of the Veerse Gat was adapted into a film, Deltafase 1, by Bert Haanstra.

Neeltje Jans (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈneːlcə jɑns]) is an artificial island in the Netherlands in the province of Zeeland, halfway between Noord-Beveland and Schouwen-Duiveland in the Oosterschelde.

After the construction, a fun park with attractions and other various expositions were built on the island, which are now connected to the shore through the dam. Another addition of the island is a nature reserve.The island was named after a nearby sand bank. The name of this sandbank has two possible origins: It could be named after a boat with the name Neeltje Jans, stranded on the sandbank.
