Power cable by Schiermonnikoog
Nature is invariably confused with emptiness. Also by Eric Wiebes, in his last week as Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate. He identified Schiermonnikoog and the mudflats underneath as the ideal place for two gigantic power lines. They must connect a future wind farm with the Eemshaven. The cable can also be around the mud flats, but that's more expensive.
That's why the mud is UNESCO World Heritage Site and protected by European. Yet the Ministry of Economic Affairs can do what it wants, as long as biologists can't make it hard for nature to break down. But about nature we especially do not know a lot. You don't buy anything for question marks, and so nature is screwed..
At Schiermonnikoog, less than a thousand people live, and the mudflats seem empty. But with over ten thousand species of plants and animals, there's an explosion of biodiversity. Rare plants and animals besides, because there are only a handful of such tidal regions in the world. The Wadden Sea is the largest.

The Wadden Sea is a natural area of global importance, divided into three countries and surrounded by densely populated areas. The main threats to the area are mainly fisheries, industry, ports and shipping. Population developments, tourism and climate change are also a threat. It is therefore essential to ensure that the protection and conservation of the Wadden Sea play an important role in the planning and regulation of human co-use.
