The MCE said the Get together was meanwhile , looking for sees on locks in interested companies to dig the ocean to create accessible sufficient sand to serve the sand needs of citizens.”

Engagements are progressing to resolve the issue of sand needs within the District.

Some companies have appeared intrigued in digging our ocean but we are careful to hasten slowly because we don’t need the Gathering to be taken to ransom.
