Right on schedule, beach restoration began at The Royal Sands on December 16 and by midday Thursday, had already reached the point between Phase II and I. Sand is pumped on shore from the dredger via a system of rubber pipes floating in the water and huge metal pipes– each one measuring 12 meters long – on the shore. The sand spurts out of the pipe at high speed and gradually dries out. During this time it attracts the attention of hungry gulls and other sea birds on the lookout for tiny shrimp and other marine life sucked up by the dredger. Diggers and tractors then move in to level the beach and when this has been completed the pipes the will be removed.

Work is going on round the clock and is advancing according to plan. We would like to share the most recent photos and a short video taken by Royal Channel at 2 p.m. today. Please share them with your friends and stay posted for more news.
