Every year, millions of tons of sand are dredged from seabeds and riverbeds. The sand is then transported across regions and national borders. It is pumped into shallow waters where it is compacted and stabilized. Sea becomes land, becomes property, becomes investment. Michaela Büsse examines the speculations about the future that become reality through the medium of sand by focusing on the convergence of economic, ecological, and social consequences of expanding new spaces for accumulation based on sand.
