Our protection to storms

Our protection to storms and high waters, The : Eastern Scheldt Storm Surge and ``Neelje jans``. This is only halve (North part) of the contruction. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neeltje_Jans and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Works for the lot.
I don't understand how this works to protect you but it certainly looks interesting .

A modern engineering marvel in many ways! I do like the way the white stands out against the sky too.
