Why plant beach grass?

Beach grass traps the sand, which helps to maintain and strengthen a healthy dune system. Dunes are designed to be sacrificial, so that they may be destroyed during coastal storms instead of our homes. Most of the time grass planting is done to restore areas of the dune that have been washed away during storm events.
