The removal of sand from beaches has been taking place in many Caribbean islands for decades. In the past, however, the volumes removed were relatively small. As populations and economies have grown in the region and construction materials have changed from wood to concrete, so too has the demand for sand. There are insufficient accessible, inland deposits of sand to satisfy demand. As a result, legal and illegal sand mining along beaches and shorelines, as well as in rivers, has increased. Remote beaches with road access are often targets for illegal mining.
