Abstract
Coastal dunes are dynamic ecosystems present at the intersection of the sea and the land. These ecosystems protect inland communities from sea level rise, storm surges, flooding, and subsequent property damage. Innovative restoration of these dunes in coastal areas will help mitigate these negative impacts into the future. During 2019-2023, we conducted a series of studies focusing on the restoration methods and strategies to stabilize the vulnerable coastal dunes at Isla Blanca Park, South Padre Island, Texas. We investigated how native plants offer wind resistance and therefore reduce erosion and stabilize dune systems because of their root systems. Following restoration, in situ data including vegetation density, root length density, particle gradation, and apparent shear strength were collected. Topographical surveys were carried out at different locations along the dune to determine sand accumulation and estimate dune volume changes. Sand transport was evaluated using a semi-empirical sand flux model by calculating the amount of sand lost to erosion and considering factors such as the effect of wind, angle of dune repose, and average particle size distribution. Vegetation density data were obtained from continuously available remotely sensed Landsat NDVI observations. In this HydroShare repository, we openly share the data collected through our dune restoration activities.
