Understanding Sand Mining in SF Bay

Sand mining in San Francisco Bay is a little known industry that has existed since the early part of the 20th century. Come learn about this activity that occurs in the deep subtidal areas of the Bay and provides sand for construction projects throughout the Bay Area. The talk will include some of the latest science, a discussion of mining effects on the marine environment and outer coast beaches, and a look at known concerns about sand mining. Ten-year permits for mining have recently been issued, so it's a great time to understand the efforts and advances being made in the science and industry of local Bay sediments.
