Q. ABSTRACT (X^antiaum oa rvwrs* alrte ft n*ce4safy and Identify by block number) 



Beach grasses have been used successfully in many coastal projects 

 to form and stabilize dune systems as a natural barrier to the inland 

 penetration of waves and storm surges. Techniques are available for 

 the efficient propagation of beacli grass for this purpose. This re- 

 port provides guidelines for (a) selecting plants and planting methods; 

 (b) obtaining plants; (c) storing, planting, and maintaining plants; 

 and (d) estimating labor requirements for planting projects.
