Marram grass

Marram grass, scientifically known as Ammophila, is a hardy coastal grass that plays a vital role in stabilizing sand dunes. Its deep roots bind the sand together, preventing erosion from wind and storms, while its extensive above-ground growth traps wind-blown sand, helping dunes grow higher and wider. Adapted to salty, windy environments, marram grass is essential for protecting coastlines and creating ecosystems that support various wildlife. Its resilience and ability to thrive in challenging conditions make it a key natural barrier against coastal erosion.
