We need to look after our coast to help provide a natural buffer between the sea and the land. Stabilises the dunes. Sand dunes are planted to stop the sand blowing onto the road and into people's houses. Grows native plants. Special native plants grow in the sand that can survive the strong salty wind and dry, sandy soil.
Native plants protect the sand dunes and provide food and shelter for our native birds and animals.
Builds tracks, carparks and picnic areas to help people enjoy their visit to the beach and the coast. Encourages learning and research. Schools, universities and scientists use our coastal area to learn about this special natural environment. We especially need help growing pingao, a native sandbinding plant. We can give you sand, seeds, trays and information on how to grow this plant.
