A seemingly endless procession of huge earth movers trundles sand and rock to the water's edge, where the fill is used to extend an immense quarter-mile-wide causeway, one of the largest landfill operations of its kind. When completed in 1985, the six-mile-long causeway will provide berths for up to 18 ocean-going cargo ships at a time. At its farthest outward point sits a colossal open-sea crude...
