Problem is sand is being dredged from poor areas that rely on shallow water environments for survival, aka fishing. Companies come in, take all the sand, destroy the environment in the process by deepening these shallow water environments and driving away all the fish - leaving the local population destitute as the local government recieves the payout without them seeing a cent.
