Abstract
    Global demand for marine sand is on the rise, expanding dredging impacts on biodiversity and often encroaching on marine protected areas. Systems approaches like the metacoupling framework help uncover overlooked impacts and balance resource extraction with biodiversity conservation. This requires addressing knowledge gaps, enhancing accountability, and mainstreaming ecological restoration to reverse biodiversity loss.
