Rizhao Maritime Police Bureau warmly reminds us that illegal mining of sea sand will cause damage to marine hydrological dynamics, seawater quality, submarine geology and biological habitat, and affect the safety of marine ecological environment and the diversity of biological resources. Especially, the illegal exploitation of sea sand along the coast will seriously change the original seabed structure, reduce water conservation, and cause ecological disasters such as coastal erosion and seawater backflow. In addition, sea sand contains a certain amount of chloride and sulfate, if the untreated qualified sea sand is directly used in construction projects, it will induce and promote the corrosion of steel bars, reduce the durability of concrete structures, and endanger the safety of people's lives and property due to excessive chloride ions.
