Using the beach-dune systems as a highway

Many beaches and dunes are allowed to be abused as roads in Australia. This is hostile to wildlife, shorebirds and pedestrians

"Associate professor Craig Styan has been looking at how the beach is used and has surveyed a number of beachgoers. He said while there was no level of driving on the beach that had zero environmental impact, it posed a difficult management question."

"It's almost a paradox … the reason for going is because it's a natural environment, but you being there potentially impacts on some of those natural values."

🦐 NEW: Sand hoppers are centimeter-long #crustaceans that live on #California #beaches, eat washed-up #kelp, and dig a fresh burrow each night.

Researchers at #UCSantaBarbara measured the excavated #sand at #IslaVista Beach by framing plots before high tide and weighing the mounds the next morning. They found up to 50 kg moved per meter of shoreline daily.

🪸 NEW: Scientists in #Okinawa discovered five specimens of “plasticorals” – dead #coral rubble chemically and physically fused with melted #plastic from #polyethylene and #polypropylene.

The likely formation pathway involves burning plastic-containing #waste on coral rubble at #beach firepits, allowing molten #polymers to seep into the porous #skeleton of the coral. These hybrids may alter #reef #habitat when loose rubble washes back into the #sea.

#fotovorschlag "Der Blick von oben
It looks a little bit like a desert (one with a lot of water😂), but it is the beach at Cacela Velja, a small coastal town in Portugal, photographed in February 2026. At low tide, the beach is very wide and you can walk very far out to sea, or you can walk along the beach all the way to Monte Gordo. Just be careful to be near a staircase leading up when the tide comes in.

Soft White Sand Dollars...Digging through memories of many beach walks...We have collected so many sea treasures over the years. I will return them to the sea, but until then, I am inspired.
