Description

Reservation areas for sand extraction are designated regions identified for the purpose of sand mining. These areas support projects such as coastal protection, construction, and land reclamation. The extracted sand is vital for reinforcing beaches, preventing erosion, and maintaining coastline stability.

Moreover, commercial sand extraction plays a crucial role in the construction industry, supplying essential materials for concrete and asphalt. By carefully managing these reservation areas, authorities strive to balance resource demands with environmental conservation.
