Sand dune restoration as sustainable natural architectural design for coastal protection along seasonal storm-prone beach

Results in Engineering
Monsoonal storms cause coastal erosion of worldwide sandy beaches, including coasts in Malaysia. Although hard engineering structures are effective in mitigating erosion, those constructions can create several environmental issues such as down-drift ...

South Padre Island beach management: Assessment of dune restoration

, 2016
Dune restoration is a common method of increasing coastal resilience. A dune restoration program was initiated by the City of South Padre Island, TX in 2010 consisting primarily of plantings of Sea Oats, Uniola paniculata, and Bitter Panicum, Panicum ...

Wetland plant growth in recycled glass sand versus dredged river sand: evaluating a new resource for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.

THE BEACHCARE PROGRAM: COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN COASTAL DUNE RESTORATION

Revista Ouricuri, 2017
Coastal management through community involvement has significant advantages over non-participatory approaches as involving the community allows for consideration of multiple interests, resources, and skills that may expand the capacity for action and enhances local stewardship. Participation can help increase project efficiency as it avoids duplication

Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Harnessing spatial nutrient distribution and facilitative intraspecific interactions in soft eco-engineering projects to enhance coastal dune restoration

, 2022
Planting engineer species is widely used to restore coastal dune ecosystems, but the success of this nature-based practice is often low. Increasing nutrient availability through fertilization and using plant density promoting facilitative plant-plant ...
