Sand Mining on the Beach Correlates with Sand Loss
- "Gary Griggs, director of the Institute of Marine Sciences at UC Santa Cruz, calculated the amount of sand eroding annually from the dunes of Marina, Sand City and Monterey. This amount, roughly 200,000 cubic yards — 20,000 cement trucks’ worth — roughly matches the amount of sand taken by the Lapis sand mine each year in Marina." - excerpt from article in the Monterey Herald.
