Tills svensk text om landet hunnit översättas – här är en engelsk:
As tempting as collecting and bringing sand with you when visiting a beach or a new place, please check with local authorities first. In many nations, such as Malta, a written permit is needed to bring out even small amounts of natural sand.
Reasons vary, but on the whole, restrictive regulations are a part of protecting our environment. Looking at Maltese coral sand close up, the individual grains are natural pieces of art and for sure worth protecting!
