Sand Dune Conservation

Sand dune conservation involves protecting these natural formations that shelter ecosystems, prevent erosion, and support diverse wildlife. Dunes occur when wind deposits sand into mounds or ridges, creating unique habitats. Conservation efforts include controlling foot traffic, preventing development, and restoring damaged dunes through planting native vegetation. These actions help preserve the dunes' stability and ecological functions, ensuring they continue to protect inland areas from wind and water erosion, support plant and animal life, and maintain natural beauty. Proper management balances human activity with nature, ensuring dunes remain resilient and their benefits enduring.
