Coastal dunes play an important role in protecting our shoreline, supporting wildlife, and maintaining healthy coastal ecosystems. At Alliance for a Living Ocean, our dune grass planting efforts help strengthen these natural barriers by restoring native vegetation and supporting long term dune stability.

By planting native dune grass, volunteers help hold sand in place, reduce erosion, and create habitat for coastal wildlife. Whether you're a local resident or visiting Long Beach Island, joining a planting event is a hands on way to care for our coastline and help safeguard our shores for future generations.
