Sand dunes formed by beach erosion serve several important ecological and environmental functions. They act as natural barriers, protecting inland areas from storm surges and coastal flooding. Additionally, dunes provide habitat for various plant and animal species, contributing to biodiversity. Their presence also helps stabilize coastal ecosystems by trapping sand and promoting the growth of vegetation, which further mitigates erosion.
