Protection for areas with several uses is a major use for woody 
plants on coastal dunes. 
Fresh-water lakes are common in dune areas near the coast. These 
are favorite recreational spots, and when the areas are under public 
administration they are often parts of a park system. They provide 
bathing, boating, water sports, and fishing and hence are intensively 
used. ‘Tree plantings enhance the use of these areas, provide pro- 
tection against the landward winds from the ocean, and tend to 
minimize the erosion hazard (fig. 4).
