Bulldozers when distributing sand on the beach in the town of Knokke-Heist, part of coastal protection and beach maintenance, due to floods, erosion and sea level rise, the sand on the beach is repeatedly washed into the sea, in winter the sand from the seabed is washed back onto the beach with suction vessels, the excavators and levelers then distribute the sand back on the beach to eliminate the difference in height so as to bathe To make the beach usable again for the next season
