Planting Guidelines for Dune Creation and Stabilization
Abstract
Beach grasses have been used successfully in many coastal projects to form and stabilize dune systems as a natural barrier to the inland penetration of waves and storm surges. Techniques are available for the efficient propagation of beach grass for this purpose. This report provides guidelines for (a) selecting plants and planting methods; (b) obtaining plants; (c) storing, planting, and maintaining plants; and (d) estimating labor requirements for planting projects.
