Today, demand for sand and gravel continues to increase. Mining operators, in conjunction with cognizant resource agencies, must work to ensure that sand mining is conducted in a responsible manner. Excessive instream sand-and-gravel mining causes the degradation of rivers. Instream mining lowers the stream bottom, which may lead to bank erosion.

This is the environmental catastrophe you’ve probably never heard of. Estimates suggest that between 32 and 50 billion tonnes of sand and gravel are extracted from the Earth each year. Cities are, quite literally, built on sand. As global urbanization continues apace, the demand for concrete (and the sand that goes into it) increases.

How sand and gravel quarry works. Sand and gravel quarries are much shallower than rock quarries and are usually worked and restored in progressive phases. This minimizes the area exposed for quarrying at any time, and limits the period the land is out of use for other productive purposes.

Sand extraction runs a spectrum from a poor artisanal miner with a shovel and wheelbarrow to enormous offshore dredgers processing up to 100,000 tonnes of marine sand each day. Sand is a bulky, heavy material, cheap to use but expensive to transport which means it is normally mined close to where it is needed.

Offshore sand and gravel extraction involves the abstraction of sediments from a bed which is always covered with seawater. This activity started in the early 20th century (in the mid-1920s, in the United Kingdom), but did not reach a significant scale until the 1960s and 1970s, when markets for marine sand and gravel expanded and dredging technology improved (Fig. 1).

Sand, gravel and phosphate from the sea. The extraction of mineral resources from the sea is by no means a new activity. Many countries have in fact been extracting sand and gravel for decades. This loose rock is used to make concrete, as backfill on building sites and in harbours, and also as beach nourishment to protect coastlines.
