I didn't get down to see this the other day, but well done kids (and adult helpers). The offshore sandmining should not be allowed to go ahead.
A community group opposed to a fast-tracked sand mining proposal in Northland's Bream Bay has set an unofficial world record for the number of people making sandcastles at once. …
the bay was a "closed sand system" so any sand mined from the sea bed would not be replenished from the sea. Instead, the holes dredged in the sea floor would eventually be filled by sand washed from local beaches, fuelling erosion.
