Requests:  0 Summary:  "In a time of accelerating sea level rise and increasingly intensifying storms, the world's sandy beaches and dunes have never been more crucial to protecting coastal environments. Yet, in order to meet the demands of large-scale construction projects, sand mining is stripping beaches and dunes, destroying environments, and exploiting labor in the process. The authors of Vanishing Sands track the devastating impact of legal and illegal sand mining over the past twenty years, ranging from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean to South America and the eastern United States. They show how sand mining has reached crisis levels: beach, dune, and river ecosystems are in danger of being lost forever, while organized crime groups use deadly force to protect their illegal mining operations. Calling for immediate and widespread resistance to sand mining, the authors demonstrate that its cessation is paramount for saving beaches, dunes, and associated environments, plus lives and tourism economies everywhere"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.699 Va Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 577.699 Va Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.699 Va Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.699 Va Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.699 Va Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.699 Va Checked out 05/30/2024 Add Copy to MyList
