Management of Mediterranean coastal dunes

Ocean & Coastal Management, 1996
Abstract This paper gives some theoretical concepts of dune management as well as practical examples of how actual measures should be carried out. Dune management is defined as all measures aimed at the preservation and restoration of the natural values of a coastal sand dune area.

Coastal Dune Hazards

2012
Coastal dunes constitute plastic systems with a recognized ecological, geomorphological, geological, historical, archaeological, scenic, cultural, and socio-economic value. Furthermore, coastal dunes play a relevant protective barrier role, preventing groundwater salinization due to intrusion of sea water and preserving other natural areas and human ...

Coastal Dune Habitats

2016
Coastal dunes occur along the majority of coastlines worldwide, often as parts of barrier islands, and are one of the most dynamic areas on earth. Sufficient supply of sand and strong onshore winds create a dynamic topography of building dunes near the shoreline and often a system of older dunes and troughs further inland.

Dune slack restoration in Dutch mainland coastal dunes

Journal for Nature Conservation, 2008
Summary The 45,000 ha Dutch dunes are relatively well protected but they suffer from severe desiccation. During the last decade a lot of knowledge has been obtained about the steering processes of eco-hydrology in dunes resulting in well-founded schemes to restore wet dune slack communities.

Beach–dune sediment budgets and dune morphodynamics following coastal dune restoration, Wickaninnish Dunes, Canada

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2016
AbstractThe results from three years of surveying and monitoring a dynamic foredune and dunefield restoration effort on Vancouver Island, Canada is presented. Complete removal of foredune vegetation occurred in three phases spaced a year apart in an effort to control invasive Ammophila spp.

Quaternary Coastal Dune Limestone Karst

2022
<p>During the Quaternary, many coastal parts of the world experienced deposition of elongated shore-parallel dunes, often formed from reworked shallow-marine biogenic carbonate sediments or ooids. These dunes cement rapidly, many of the early Holocene dunes are already cemented, and are termed aeolian calcarenite or aeolianite.

Coastal dunes with resistant cores

Journal of Coastal Conservation, 2018
Hybrid shore protection projects combine hard structures with beaches, sand dunes and vegetation, mimicking the appearance and function of natural landforms. These advantages can also accrue to structures built as primary protection that eventually become covered by sand following natural accretion, artificial nourishment or burial by earth-moving ...
