Healthy Dunes, Resilient Shores
Coastal dunes are more than just sandy hills—they’re dynamic ecosystems that protect our shorelines, support native wildlife, and act as natural buffers against sea level rise and storm surge. Unfortunately, many dune systems in Southern California have been lost or degraded due to development, invasive species, and erosion.
That’s why we’re launching a new project to protect and restore 2.3 acres of coastal dune habitat in Seal Beach. Currently in the early planning stages, this project will begin with efforts to safeguard the existing dunes while setting the foundation for long-term ecological restoration. In the years ahead, we’ll be working to remove invasive plants, reintroduce native species, and engage the local community in stewardship and education.
Healthy dunes mean a healthier coastline—for wildlife, for people, and for future generations.
