Coastal dune systems have a recognized geomorphological, geological, ecological, historical, archaeological,
scenic, cultural, and socioeconomic interest and provide
us with different direct and indirect benefits and resources
including their role as natural barriers that buffer the
effects of storms, sea, and wind. Nevertheless, they cover
a really limited global area that is largely endangered at
present, mainly due to human direct and indirect impacts.
This has led to the development of initiatives and efforts
focused on dune conservation, management, and restoration from different disciplines and government levels.
