💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🏖️📉 #California has lost roughly 60% of its coastal sand dunes since the 1850s, a loss of about 442 km².
Researchers used historical #maps, aerial #photos, and #lidar #data tracked by #machinelearning to measure the decline. Most losses came from development, #erosion, and invasive grasses, but some dunes expanded by 15 km² .

On the extensive sand dunes of the North Gare, south of Seaton Carew and near where the River Tees meets the North Sea.
If you like big landscapes with big skies, this is a place worth visiting, especially at low tide.
This area is part of the Teesmouth National Nature Reserve and it is Co Durham's most southerly stretch of coast.
The impressive dunes hereabouts owe their existence to marram grass, sometimes called 'beachgrass'.
Without this plant's important stabilising influence, the huge banks of sand would be at the mercy of the wind and waves.
The root systems bind loose sand together, trapping windblown sand and creating sheltered habitats for other plants and wildlife.#coastal #sanddunes #durham #teesmouth #seatoncarew #landscape #beach #photography

“The #grasses are really those pioneer species, and they are the #dune builders,” she says.
“By sticking up in the air, they really are able to catch and drop that sand, and that’s the physical action that builds the dune.”

One of the routes through the sand dunes at South Shields' Littlehaven Beach.
In the distance, the Tynemouth Pier and lighthouse where the waters of Tyne meet the North Sea.
Always reminds me of one of the scenes in the film adaptation of the BBC TV comedy series 'The Likely Lads'.
Aware that some reading this might be a bit too young to have been around when the series was aired on TV and never seen the film, the storyline generally follows the lives and friendship of two young working class men, Terry Collier (James Bolam) and Bob Ferris (Rodney Bewes).
In the movie adaptation, there is a scene filmed on the pier where Bob and Terry are chatting about the future direction of their lives.
Bob turns to Terry and memorably remarks: "In the chocolate box of life, the top layer's already gone."
He briefly pauses, then adds: "And someone's pinched the orange creme from the bottom!"#england #southshields #coast #sanddunes #landscape #photography

Cycling on Jekyll Island, Georgia, with a Road Scholar group
April 29, 2026 The challenge we faced while riding around Jekyll Island was using a coaster bike. It was unexpected, and we have not used those bikes in decades. It took some time to reacquaint ourselves with getting on and off those bikes. Another challenge was cycling up the sand dunes with only one gear. Stopping was the final challenge when the cyclist just ahead of us suddenly stopped. We were to follow each other by one bicycle length. Most of us decided to follow the cyclist ahead of […]https://andrasthehun.ca/2026/04/29/cycling-on-jekyll-island-georgia-with-a-road-scholar-group/

We'd climbed up onto the dunes just as the weather turned. One minute it was postcard Fuerteventura. Bright sand, blue sea, the whole thing was beautiful and the next a slab of grey had slid in off the Atlantic and parked itself overhead. Suddenly we were running for our cars as rain pelted down. But that was 5 minutes into the future. For now people were enjoying the dunes in Fuerteventura. -
