Strength from
the depths
This is the website for the British Marine Aggregate Producers Association (BMAPA) - the representative trade body for the British marine aggregate industry.
Aggregate - sand, gravel and crushed rock - contributes greatly to our quality of life. The strength we draw from this vital natural resource gives us our homes, schools, hospitals, offices and much more. The marine aggregate industry is one of the UKís key suppliers of sand and gravel. In a typical year, over 20 million tonnes of marine aggregate are dredged from an area of less than 1 per cent (0.136%) of the UK seabed, providing 19 per cent of sand and gravel sales in England and 46 per cent in Wales. |
 BMAPA has welcomed the Government’s planned Marine Bill as a more coordinated and sustainable means of managing and protecting the marine environment.
