Previously, the Lauwerszee, named after the river Lauwers bay, was open to the Wadden Sea. After the storm surge of 1953, a dam was planned for fear of flooding, which was completed in 1969. The bay became a closed lake, now called the Lauwersmeer, and the higher seabed (the former watt) was drained.
