The tons of white sand washed away in the Alona Beach area can possibly return if the efforts won’t be in vain to avoid further damage in the aforementioned area.
This was the statement said by Gov. Erico Aumentado in a meeting with the Alona owners and stakeholders in their porject to bring back the white sand of Alona beach. The governor added that Manila Base Construction will be the one in-charge of vacuuming out sand in a deep level of the seabed and will be placed along the Alona shoreline.
This “airless method” was the conclusion of a study done by Dr. Wilfred Welldimir of the Tropical Marine Ecology, Fishery, Biology, Agriculture and Physical Oscillography. This study was conducted for Alona Beach Foundation years ago but was presented to the government just recently.
