Also, the graphic at 0:46 calls a clamshell (I presume...) a "cumshell" -- but considering how unlikely of a typo that would be, I'm half inclined to think it was an intentional Easter egg on their part! 😝
Coastal Marshland and Mangroves are often destroyed by storms or wave errosion, and require a seawall to be built for protection before replanting native species in their young sapling forms.
Much of land reclaimation is actually to reclaim wetlands that have been destroyed. It's not worded that well in the video, but land reclaimation in the USA often involves building dams and planting mangroves behind the protected damns. So you dump and fill a sea wall after a hurricane before replanting and replacing hurricane destroyed mangroves.
I've seen a proposal to extend Manhattan southward into NYC harbor through artificial land. (Spirit of New Amsterdam!) Some environmentalists don't like it, but it could change the city. I envision this extension being planned so that skyscrapers would be limited to a central belt at the furthest distance from the harbor; residential buildings with half a dozen floors would be closer to it; and closest of all they'd build a zone of parks and wetlands!
My thoughts exactly! After a bit of investigation, I'm almost positive it's meant to be "clamshell" -- and considering that seems like an exceedingly difficult/unlikely typo to make (on a standard QWERTY layout, in any case) and not something that can be explained by auto-correct, I'm inclined to conclude: Easter egg(?)
A chart showing number of coastal flood days for 1999 vs. 2023 means nothing, scientifically speaking, without the other 150 years of data included. Also, coastal regions are affected by subsidence more than by sea level. And everyone is a 'conqueror', until they aren't. Much like the Dutch found out in 1953. The flood control systems installed along the lower Mississippi River in response to the 1927 flood are much the same as the Dutch have installed and equally successful. There are levees, diversion structures, pumps, etc. in both systems. But this also leaves New Orleans and the delta area with very little deposition of sediment to build up the sinking areas, which makes storm surges much worse than they would normally be. Also, San Francisco and Manhattan were not 'reclaimed' - they were simply filled in with garbage. Check the manmade islands in Dubai, Japan's airport, and China's sinking manmade islands and it will become apparent that this is a bad practice. And most beaches along the US coasts are either manmade or have been made much larger than they naturally were. Beach nourishing in these regions has been going on since the 1930s.

LAST time when i was this early, the fire nation didn't attack,the west fold still stood,the trees of valanor still shone, heck even the Excutor wasn't built.
chemicals from the rubbish would leach into the to the soil becsuse of the heat or any rainfall water which would cause the soils above to become more toxic and harmful for plants and ecosystems above
Correction:
At 2:58 we put a map of Boston and not San Fransisco.

Standard OBF.
And Flevoland is bigger than you thought, in your map you're only highlighting the southern part of Flevoland
the netherlands: look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power
Land "conquer" is a term reserved only for the Dutch
Yes I agree. But the frisians also deserve to use that term.
@@mehmeh1234Macau literally has 2/3rds of their land reclaimed
@@Kerguelen.Mappingso
@@Trickaz94 land conquer could also be used for macau imo
@@mehmeh1234 Frisian are Dutch (in this instance at least)

Aren't marshlands a very important biodiversity environment to protect?
Yes they are, very important for food webs and can protect areas from flooding
Yes. But a biodiverse marsh/forest/mangrove does not make money for the capitalist industrial complex. A standing tree is "worthless"

Love this video love from Independent Country of Taiwan 🇹🇼
No you are a province of China stop listening to your american lapdpgs
😂
Crazy how Netherlands has them beat by a LOT
not really, america is empty af meanwhile the dutch barely fit in their own country lol
@@SzymonPmc not really, only the interior of the usa is empty, the coastal areas are really densely populated
@@SzymonPmcmurica is a backwards dump
@@SzymonPmcamurica is a backwards dump

2:58 Talking about San Francisco while showing a map of Boston?
I was going to comment on it but you beat me to it.

Excuse my ignorance, but why is the grab bucket at 0:42 called a cumshell?

Lets build some cool new towns
Hmm US conquers lands
they made France V2
How dare you call Flevoland Holland on your thumbnail
By hiring the Dutch.
The sea levels are not rising.

why can't we stuff abandoned mines with landfill trash?
