CREATION AND STABILIZATION OF COASTAL BARRIER DUNES [PDF]

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1968
Experiments are underway along the coast of North Carolina using sand fences and dune grasses to create and stabilize a barrier dune line parallel to and behind the existing beaches of low lying barrier islands. Several miles of experimental sections have been established, and their effectiveness in trapping wind-blown sand has been analyzed.
