The Marker Wadden is an artificial archipelago developed in the Markermeer between 2016 and 2021, a lake in the Netherlands. The first island was inaugurated on 24 September 2016. It is a nature reserve alternative to the much bigger proposed Markerwaard polder that was begun in 1941, but paused following World War II and finally canceled in 2003.
