Restoring Coastal Dune Dynamics at Point Reyes Headlands
Hamingson E and Voeller D. 2008. Restoring Coastal Dune Dynamics at Point Reyes Headlands. National Park Service
As part of the plan to restore the coastline at Point Reyes National Seashore, iceplant was removed from 100 acres of the rocky bluffs near the Lighthouse in 2002-2004. Drawing on lessons learned from this effort and similar restoration projects, the park is currently removing invasive species within an 80-acre area of coastal dunes to restore dune dynamics and preserve habitat for the many rare and special status species that thrive there.
