European marram grass (Ammophila arenaria)
A new dune is growing, and maybe in a couple of years this will be a large dune. The European marram grass is playing an important role in dune forming. The grass can survive in the harsh conditions of the sand beach and with its roots it is holding the sand of the dune in its place.
Ammophila arenaria is a species of grass known by the common names European marram grass and European beachgrass. It is one of two species of the genus Ammophila (marram grass). It is native to the coastlines of Europe and North Africa where it grows in the sands of beach dunes.
