Sand dune stabilization is a coastal management technique for preventing erosion. Sand dunes may be stabilized through the planting of vegetation. Sand dunes trap sand and beach material washed and blown up, the rate of erosion is slowed and an effective flood barrier is created. Footpaths will also have to be introduced to stop trampling. Sand dunes stabilisation is economical, environmentally friendly, does not disrupt the coastline further on, creates natural habitats for animals and plants and is not regarded as unattractive. However, for successful dunes to be placed it must be thoroughly researched before hand and will take a long time to establish. These are present at Hengistbury Head.
