Coastal sand dune restoration with an eco-friendly technique [PDF]

Aquatic Ecosystem Health & Management, 2020
Dune restoration projects that integrate vegetation efforts with natural, sustainable, and soft solutions have become increasingly popular in coastal communities. Eco-restored dunes have high aesthetic value and are likely to be more resilient to near-surface wind effects and/or minor storms events.

An innovative sand dune restoration project from Malta [PDF]

, 2003
Sand dunes arguably qualify as the most endangered natural habitats in the Maltese Islands due to the small size of the dunes, the low proportion of sandy shores (just 2.4% of the entire islands‟ coastline), the intense human impact, and the lack of public awareness and information about these ecosystems.

Using High-Spatial Resolution UAV-Derived Data to Evaluate Vegetation and Geomorphological Changes on a Dune Field Involved in a Restoration Endeavour

Remote Sensing, 2021
Nowadays, the employment of high-resolution Digital Surface Models (DSMs) and RGB orthophotos has become fundamental in coastal system studies. This work aims to explore the potentiality of low-cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) surveys to monitor the ...

The effectiveness of elevated boardwalks in restoring coastal dunes

Journal of Environmental Management, 2023
Coastal dunes are important habitats that also play an important role in coastal protection. In areas of high tourist activity, they have often been degraded by trampling and intensive use, resulting in a loss of ecological, aesthetic and protective values. As a result, several management actions have been taken to minimise dune degradation and enhance
