What is a Sand Dune?

Sand dunes are most effective barriers from winds and flooding when left intact. Footprints, although small individually, accumulate quickly in sand dune environments due to the characteristics of this loose material. After time, dune vegetation and this unique habitat can be severely damaged by beachgoer foot traffic resulting in tremendous impacts.
