Sand Trap Fencing Advice
Sand-trap fencing is designed to break the natural flow of the wind, slowing it down, and promoting the deposition of sand.
Moving sand is vital for the health of sand dune vegetation, however for vegetation to be established reducing the wind speed is vital. There are a number of scenarios where sand fencing can aid dune recovery.
3S Assessment
This 3Ss assessment is based on a training programme for communities. It is not expected that a person who has not taken the course would carry out this assessment.
This 3Ss assessment is based on scientific principles (from both physical and social sciences). The output of the assessment is very “context” specific, and so is intended as a support tool for planning and management, quantifying the issues that may need to be addressed.
