What is land reclamation?

When I google this, it talks about “creating” land. How is that even possible to just create a land on the sea?

Bring in rocks and dirt to replace what is washed away through natural erosion. The water comes in with the tides and when it recedes, it takes little bits of soil and stuff back with it. It’s like when they build an overpass on a highway. They just bring in more and more dirt and pack it down until it’s high enough to build a bridge over it.
