Coastal sand dunes provide an excellent environment for the study of primary succession. The vegetated dunes within the system have developed on a substrate of unconsolidated sand. This sand has been picked up by the wind from the wide sandy foreshore at low tide and deposited at the top of the beach around any obstacle which interrupts the flow of the wind and reduces its energy - it may be tidal litter on the strand line or a plant.

Why are sand dunes fragile?
Sand dunes are fragile because they are made up of loose particles that are easily shifted by wind and water. Human activities, such as trampling, off-road vehicles, and development, can disrupt the stability of sand dunes and lead to their degradation. Once the protective vegetation cover is removed, sand dunes become vulnerable to erosion and can lose their characteristic features.
