*** About Coastal Dunes: Coastal dunes are dynamic formations created and shaped by the movement of wind and water. Often found near beaches and coastal areas, these dunes serve as critical barriers against ocean storms and beach erosion, also providing habitat for a wide range of plant and animal species. Typically, they are composed of sand that has been eroded from rocks and carried to the coast by rivers, where waves and wind deposit them along the shoreline. Over time, vegetation can colonize these sandy formations, helping stabilize the sand and reduce erosion.
