Yeees! Vairāk glupu rakstu svešvalodā, lai ierobežotu pieeju un sapratni citiem!
No, there wasn’t
Alright, who did this?
Sorry, but why are you even asking such strange question without doing any reasonable research yourself?
1. Why should we want to reclaim that land? There is enough landmass available for Latvian agriculture and living – we are not in such a situation as, for example, Netherlands where every acre costs a fortune because of scarcity, and where it actually makes a financial sense to do the super-expensive reclamation projects.
2. Do you have a slightest idea, how expensive the land reclamation is? It costs millions of Euros per hectare. Further more – we don’t have enough large fractions of suitable filler material (granite, construction sand) available in our country (we could literally move all the hills of Latvia to fill in the Bay of Riga and it would still not be nearly enough), which means importing millions upon millions of tons of material, which would make this even more expensive.
3. Thirdly – Bay of Riga is a great natural barrier to make our naval ports protected against the waves, and we don’t have to spend money on cleaning the seabed for port enterances all the time.
As you can see, there is ZERO reason to even conceive such project – it’s neither necessary, nor practical, nor even actually possible given the costs and scope.
What
I attempted to reclaim the Bay of Your Mother last night
First – ewww it looks so chunky!
Second – Don’t you dare even thinking about taking the Zirga galva away – that’ll confuse the shit out of Lithuanians.
Let the fish have it.
There’s already too much space in Latvia
There is a tale of devil trying to build a bridge to Saaremaa, never goes well.
There isn’t really any major benefit for doing it and it would be counterproductive given there are ports in the bay, climate would probably change somewhat etc. Also apparently in the Netherlands, and probably elswhere they do this, the sea is shallow, therefore it is easy to acomplish.

Isn’t that like part of our territory already?
But why

Why?
Bāc, nebrīnīšos ja mēs to tiešām izdarīsim.
