I wish they could do this, or something similar, for the Ludington dunes where Sargeant Sand is now. Not to try to deflect private enterprise, but, they are removing tons and multiple tons of sand with double-tanker type semi's everyday, more than several times a day, everyday! I think most is going to industry involved in castings/foundries. So, I while wishing to keep those industries alive and well, it sure seems like much of our dunes is dwindling and disappearing daily, and with no let up, or even pause. It could be a sad event in the end, esp. if this keeps going the same way, into the far future.
