In addition to coastal protection, licensed sand extraction is essential for the construction industry, providing key materials for concrete and asphalt production. By carefully managing these licensed areas, authorities strive to balance the demand for resources with the need for environmental conservation, ensuring sustainable use of natural resources.

Description

Licensed sand extraction areas are designated regions where sand extraction is permitted under regulatory oversight. Sand extraction is crucial for projects such as coastal protection, construction, and land reclamation. The extracted sand plays a vital role in reinforcing beaches, preventing erosion, and maintaining the stability of coastlines.

In addition to coastal protection, sand extraction is essential for the construction industry, providing key materials for concrete and asphalt production. By carefully managing licensed areas, authorities strive to balance the demand for resources with the need for environmental conservation, ensuring sustainable use of natural resources.
