| Dune Grass | ||
| Description | Dune grass (Ammophila breviligulata), also known as beachgrass or marram grass, is a perennial grass. This plant strengthens coastal resilience as an important dune stabilizer. Dune grass thrives in sandy, well-drained soil. Dune grass can withstand burial (up to 20 ft.) within a shifting dune. Its roots form a thick mat to knit a dune together and the grasses’ stems reduce wind erosion. Pretty and useful, dune grass is great in dunes and along shoreline. The plant provides important habitat for birds. | |
