Abstract Sand mining constitutes an important factor of beach degradation. This practice, related to an acute demand for building material, has a negative impact on coastal dynamics. It generates a sediment crisis related to the progressive exhaustion of the sand stock, and results in various forms of erosion. The case of the beach at Pointe Sarène, in Senegal, is a representative example of the processes involved and their consequences. The sedimentary budget was quantified and indicates a sediment depletion rate of 211,000 m3 yr1. In the absence of sand extraction the balance would be positive (+116,000 m3 yr'). This generates a retreat of the coastline which, these last few years, was estimated at 15 m.yr'. The extraction does not only e...
