Where does the renourishment sand come from?  (A good claim I hope!)  haha

Indian River County used to get sand offshore, which was a better quality and occasionally brought some interesting finds if they accidentally dredged over/around an old wreck.

In 2009, the county commission was 'moved' to help the out of work truck drivers and sand mine owners (no homebuilding for a while) and decided against sourcing sand offshore. Some sand (used on the northern beaches) was dredged from the West side of the Sebastian inlet - you never saw the can slaw!

So where do they get sand for the rest of the coastline since 2009? Old sand dunes west of I-95. They say the 'gray' sand will bleach white over time ..... yay
