Blasting Through the Ocean Floor to Get Sand is Not Wise
- "Broward County has dropped a controversial proposal to blast through the ocean floor off Fort Lauderdale to collect sand for eroded beaches. The explosives had been intended to crack the limestone on the ocean floor. The new plan would just cut through the softer rock above the limestone." - excerpts from article in the Sun-Sentinel.
