| Schokland (Dutch pronunciation: [xcbx88sxxc9x94klxc9x91nt]) is a former island in the Dutch Zuiderzee, in the municipality of Noordoostpolder. | WIKI |
| Schokland was an elongated strip of peat land which ceased to be an island when the Noordoostpolder was reclaimed from the sea in 1942. | WIKI |
| On 1 April 2014, it had 8 inhabitants,[1] but according to Statistics Netherlands there are five people living on the former island. | WIKI |
| Schokland was a peninsula that by the fifteenth century had become an island. | UNESCO |

| The remains of dykes and terps located outside the present island reflect the former contours of the island and the land that has been lost over the course of time. | UNESCO |
| Also located outside the present island, but within the boundaries of the World Heritage property, are more than 160 archaeological sites with remnants of prehistoric occupation. | UNESCO |

| Vestiges of all phases of the settlement history of Schokland are clearly recognisable: the traces of prehistoric settlement in the ground, the four terps on the eastern side of the island, the buildings on the island itself, the characteristic recent system of land division of the polder, and the green areas along the edge of the island. | UNESCO |

| Since 2002, a hydrological buffer zone has been constructed on the east side of the island so as to prevent subsidence of the island and damage to the archaeological record in the soil due to groundwater depletion. | UNESCO |
| One of the most important projects for the parties involved concerns the continued monitoring of the state of conservation of archaeological sites in the area surrounding the former island. | UNESCO |
| Since 2012, all parties strive to define a second hydrological buffer zone at the southern tip of the former island, involving another 200 hectares of land. | UNESCO |
