The higher demand for construction materials and the depletion of land sources, coupled with sterner environmental restrictions, led suppliers to turn to the sea, particularly to the near-shore areas. Several of these mining operations are illegal, many are damaging for the coastal and off-shore environment, some are threatening coast lines including in such sensitive areas as the coral reefs. A case study is examined for Australia
