Agree, but in Holland, that ship has sailed.

The coastline of Zeeland is very artificial of course, much of it is reclaimed land. In the north of course there is the sea dike of Camperduin and reclaimed land, and Wieringen is no longer an island.
The Waddenzee is quite unnatural. The closing of the Zuiderzee has changed the water chemistry such that seagrass will not grow there any more, and the islands have all been fixed in place, while they would naturally migrate east.
I mock Staatsbosbeheer in their constant effort, working hard to keep the landscape from evolving and to keep it in its 'natural' state. The natural state would be a low lying brackish wetland that's regularly flooded by the sea, and the natural state would be constantly evolving.
