Sardinian Sand

Sardinian resorts have real problems with some of its foreign tourists removing the white sands from its beaches (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/13/sardinias-seasonal-crimewave-of-sand-thieves). Sometimes, the tourists simply want the sand as a keepsake. On other occasions, they use the sand to decorate their tropical fish tanks. Yet others attempt to sell it online. It is, however, illegal to remove sand, pebbles or shells from Sardinian beaches. Fines can range between 500 and 3000 euros. Attempts to leave the island with substantial quantities of sand, can even result in jail sentences! So long as the restrictions are clear, this is not an unreasonable regulation, to protect the environment.
