A bulldozer is pushing topsoil back for later use in land reclamation. Two dredges are sucking up sands from the bottom of the pond and using flexible pipelines to pump the slurry back to the big rectangular processing plant. Long booms dump clean waste sand to the East while useless fines flow back into the dredging pool. Early stages of land replanting can be seen in the rectangular patterns to the south-east.
