Marram grass in the spotlight for protecting coastal dunes
Original: Strandhafer stabilisiert die Dünen mit seinem dichten Wurzelsystem und trägt wesentlich zum Schutz vor Küstenerosion bei
Marram grass, common on North Sea and Atlantic coasts, is being praised for its role in dune stabilisation. Its dense root system binds loose sand, helping dunes withstand strong winds and protecting coastlines from erosion. The hardy grass thrives in salty, nutrient-poor soils where few other plants survive, making it a key natural defence against rising coastal erosion pressures.
Why now: Interest in nature-based coastal protection is growing as erosion and storm risks to shorelines increase
