If endangered piping plovers of the Great Lakes are similar to the enangered Snowy Plovers in California, the sand build up is pretty important for their nesting. Dredging sand in general is usually pretty bad unless it's part of a project to remove recent mining runoff (these days strictly controlled by the EPA...unless defunded)
