Revitalizing Coastal Dunes: A Nature-Based Solution for Erosion and Rising Seas
A century ago, Santa Monica beaches were narrower, but now, the Santa Monica Bay Foundation is restoring ancient coastal dunes with native plants to combat erosion and rising seas. These dunes, which stretch from Point Dume to Manhattan Beach, provide habitats for shorebirds and the endangered El Segundo blue butterfly, while also reducing sand blowing onto roads and bike paths. Experts praise dunes for their natural resilience against wave energy and their ability to absorb flooding during storms. With a new state law and voter approval for nature-based fixes, coastal communities are investing in dune restoration to protect tracks and highways from rising sea levels.
