Sand Dune Stabilisation at Seacliff Beach by North Berwick, East Lothian

To prevent dune collapse and subsequent vegetation loss, sisal geotextile tubes are filled with sand and laid around the base of the dunes to absorb the impact of the tide and waves.  The colour is very similar to that of the sand and the tubes can be planted with marram grass.  As they are natural and biodegradable there is no risk of plastics leaching into the sea.
