Locals say the once tranquil sands of Hayle in Cornwall have seen tonnes of sand removed 'day and night with no thought for the environmental repercussions'.
Angry residents are campaigning to stop sand being take from 'Britain's best beach' - and being sold for profit.
Ms Daniels says her roots are deeply ingrained in Hayle Beach where she grew up and witnessed the rich bio-diversity of the local ecosystem. Her petition states;: 'Hayle Beach, a gem of Cornwall and voted Best Beach in the UK by The Times, deserves to be protected and nurtured, not exploited. 'But the reality is clearly different. Excavation is taking place on the beach, far from the central channel they declare to keep clear.'Locals say the sand is being removed 'with no thought for the environmental repercussions'Peter Haddock, Hayle Harbourmaster, told Cornwall Live: 'Regular dredging is needed in four areas at Hayle Harbour to provide a safe channel for fishing and sailing boats to navigate.
'Proceeds from the sale of sand is reinvested back into harbour to support the costs of maintaining and operating the harbour.'But what is happening is sand being dug up from alongside the river. 'Night-time operations disrupt peace, and the incessant excavation poses a risk to our children's safety on the beach.'Emily Brown said: 'I have had enough of watching our land and seas tampered with the point of a mass decline of wildlife in an area that should be protected and a safe haven.Ms Daniels added: 'My roots are deeply ingrained in this beautiful place we call Hayle Beach.'This is an important area not just for me but for the entire community of Cornwall.
