In Zeeland behoren de duinen langs de kust tot de hoogste delen van de provincie. De duinen behoren tot de enige delen van de Zeeuwse eilanden die gevrijwaard bleven van watersnoodrampen. Hier zijn ook de oudste sporen van bewoning gevonden, herleidbaar tot 15.000 jaar geleden. Het oude duinlandschap is ontstaan in het vroeg-Atlanticum zo’n 9.000 jaar geleden. Duinen zijn de eerste natuurlijke dijken waarachter Zeeland is ontstaan en vormen samen 60 kilometer van de Zeeuwse kust. “We have dictated what plants grow and where. We’ve pocked and deformed the Earth’s crust with mines and wells, and we’ve commandeered a huge fraction of its freshwater supply for our own purposes. What is new is the idea that we might want to deform the Earth intentionally, as a way to engineer the planet either back into its pre-industrial state, or into some improved third state. Some scientists see geo-engineering as a last-ditch option to prevent us from cooking the planet to death. Others fear that it could have unforeseen—and possibly catastrophic—consequences. What many agree on, however, is that the technology necessary to reshape the climate is so powerful, and so easily implemented, that the world must decide how to govern its use…” [bron: The Atlantic, Greame Wood]
