    Sand is everywhere and we hardly notice it. Yet it is also in great demand worldwide - and not just in the construction industry. It also plays an important role in the manufacturing of glass and semiconductors and in water treatment. Due to this intensive use in recent years, sand has become a scarce resource that is traded internationally. The effect of the depletion of this resource on coastal regions and the people that live there is the topic of a new research project at the Max PLANCK Institute for Social Anthropology (MPI). Titled "Sand - The Future of Coastal Cities in the Indian Ocean", the project is funded by a 1.3 million euro grant from the German Research Foundation (DFG).
