Wyspa Refulacyjna, Artificial island in Szczecin Lagoon, Poland

The island, measuring 0.03 square kilometers, rises 1.3 meters above sea level and functions as a shelter for the port of Trzebież near Police.

Built in the late 19th century, this structure utilized materials excavated during port development, with its final expansion completed between 1996 and 1997.

The island, formerly named Wellen-Brecher until 1945, represents the maritime engineering practices of the West Pomeranian region.

Located at coordinates 53°39′36″N and 14°31′22″E, the island lies within the protected Natura 2000 area near the mouth of the Oder River.

The island formation process, known as refulacja, involves depositing and managing sediment materials to maintain navigation channels and protect coastal areas.
