This article contributes to the debate on water (re)socialisation by looking atcontemporary Dutch flood management, which suggests a paradigm shift bygiving land back to water: ontpoldering. Focusing on the case of the islandTiengemeten, a place «given back to nature» and water, we explore whichactors define nature and how much space and time nature and water receive,as well as the implications of these processes for humans and non-humans.To understand these processes we propose the notion of naturification, analyzedin light of social, environmental and ecological justice theories. This broughtus to the conclusion that awareness is needed for the side effects of this promisingincrease in ecological justice: the disruption of community fabric and aloss of diverse ways of defining and relating to nature and water. Material for this research has been collected through multispecies ethnography consisting ofparticipatory observation, participatory mapping and semi-structured interviews.
