Sand Mining is Destroying Beaches Around the World
- "The men and women who mine sand, often illegally, are merely trying to make a living. But coastlines are being destroyed to build the skyscrapers and dams and highways of countries in other continents. Not to mention that as protective buffers of a beach disappear, waves are encroaching on the nearby town." - excerpt from article in Gizmodo. Also see Sand Wars.
