This is ridiculous. My family grew up on this coast and it breaks my heart to see how much damage is being done just for some sand. Stop the mining.

Enough with the dredging. You are destroying the very thing people come here to see. Stop it now before there is nothing left.

The lagoon is dying and everyone sees it but the people in charge. Save our water for the next generation please.

Protect our coastline. We need to respect the environment more than we respect money.
