Foredune. European beachgrass has crowded out other species in the outer primary foredune. This may in part be the reason the dune is increasing in height, as European beachgrass more effectively traps sand than other beach grasses, increasing dune height. (xxxx://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx/programs/sea/ coast/plants/dunegrass.html) This may be considered an impairment of certain functions. However, a taller dune also increases some shoreline functions because it provides increased protection from storms, coastal flooding, and tsunamis; it also visually screens most dune complex development from the ocean beach, providing a more natural beach experience.
