Cape American Beachgrass is mostly found along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and has been introduced to the Pacific coast, as well.  The beachgrass is imperative to preserving sand dunes which are the first line of defense during coastal storms.  Sand Dunes absorb wave energy and act as “sand banks” to replenish eroded beaches. Beachgrass helps to build, expand and stabilize the dunes by trapping wind blown sand.

Volunteers are encouraged to help plant beachgrass annually, to replenish and restore the ground cover and protect the sand dunes.  At the very least, we can spread the word about the importance of Cape American Beachgrass and ask friends and family to stay off the dunes. (DNREC)
