The ability of marram grass to grow on and bind sand makes it a useful plant in the stabilization of coastal Considering that many lands, meadowes and pasturages lying on sea coasts have been ruined and overspread in many places in this kingdom by sand driven from adjacent sand hills .... His Majesty does strictly prohibit and discharge the pulling of bent, Marram grass has a rolled leaf that creates a localized environment of water vapour concentration within the leaf, and helps to prevent water loss. Is Ammophila arenaria (marram grass) a threat to South African dune fields? As the pioneer plants grow and die, sand continues to accumulate, which raises the ground surface above the level of the highest tides. Kerry County Council, in conjunction with an Taisce and Kerry members of Scouting Ireland, are today carrying out Marram Grass planting at Inch Beach. Andresen, C. C. 1861.
