Dredging sand close to the shore line is a red flag. It make the barrier sand at the mouth of the shoreline to slump further into the ocean.
Also creates more energy for the waves
There is poor land use management and environmental conservation….in kenya we overcame these challenges by planting mangroves and retaining beaches to their natural state
Land use mismanagement: it's a governmental issue and they are likely being paid to look the other way. You can't dredge without proper consideration of erosion control.
So stop adding to the population. If unable to provide for kids then don't have kids.
Why not plant mangroves?
Someone mining the sand 😮… put sand in a clear vase with water and vacuum the sand from any point 👉 and see 👀 🤔 what happens 💯🤔🙄👀
Plant trees, specifically anti-land erosion trees at the beaches.
