While slatted fences help limit the movement and loss of sand from the dunes during storms, alternative longer term methods include planting sturdy, salt-tolerant, fast growing grasses, such as American beachgrass, as seen recently planted to each side.
I do love these fences. This was an earlier image, and earlier fence, taken at the same location:

I recognised the functionality of these fences. Similar systems are now used in the Outer Hebrides to prevent the sea of taking more and more land. Congrats on your TT finish.
wonderful pic .. and congratulations on such a great place in the challenge ..
and thankyou for the education .. i always love to read the the photographer's comments .. its like the dessert after having a great dinner .. xx
I can only laugh noticing this reminds me of another 10 of mine in the previous path challenge that happened to be my favorite. No wonder I had allotted this one a 10 at first glance. Not as good as the path photo but great design. Would have liked more light and shadow variations or something to create a bit of tension
