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.
In the MSP Challenge this layer is editable and provides insight into the current identified reservation areas for sand. Players can plan new areas, or edit existing areas.
