Dunes

Defence

Dunes that are found along the coast can provide a flood defence and/or erosion protection function.

The stabilised zone is a combination of slacks, dune ridges, and dune pastures, which not only protect the hinterland from flooding but are multi functional for ecology and recreational purposes. A wide dune system might be compromised by flow routes through the slack.

Dunes are displayed in AIMS as a polyline showing the line of centre the defence.
