Research to help eroding sand dunes

October 11th, 2011

Residential property management company Quinovic and the Dunes Restoration Trust of NZ have established a post-graduate Study Award to help combat the wide scale damage of coastal sand dune ecosystems.

Sand dunes are a natural barrier between sea and land, but erosion and its associated sand losses poses a serious
risk to the dunes’ role.

DoC has named coastal sand dunes one of NZ’s most at-risk ecosystems needing protection and management.

The trust works alongside many councils and other leading business organisations.
