“Hannah discussed that there are various types of sand and that it can vary commonly not only from one particular beach front to a further but alongside the same coastline. This is owing to wave and tidal motion and wind direction.
“Our lovely pink sand comes from a particular kind of coral referred to as Foraminifera which grows out on the reef line. It is then broken down into smaller particles, both by wave erosion or parrotfish and blended with other shells and coral to generate the prettiest sand in the world.
“Sand has several usages and because of its superior demand from customers notably in construction, the retrieval system raises issues all over the planet for our maritime existence and ecosystem. Luckily for us in Bermuda, we can enjoy it and construct sandcastles with it right until the tide washes them absent.”
