Abstract: The second coastal safety assay in The Netherlands, reported in 2006, showed that more than 70% of the 24-kilometre-long Wadden Sea dyke on the island of Texel failed to meet safety standards. A refurbishment was executed on 14 kilometres of the dyke, increasing its width and height, and adding a cover layer of grass and asphalt. Along the remaining 3.2-kilometre long section in front of the Prins Hendrik Polder (Section 9), a soft coastal protection design called the Prins Hendrik Zanddijk (PHZD) was realised. A dune and beach sandbody was reclaimed seaward of the dyke, upgrading some 200 hectares of the Wadden Sea area
