   c. Remove old dams on rivers feeding sand to the beach.
   d. Stabilize sea cliffs, so they dont collapse onto beaches.
   e. Move cliff-top houses back from the cliffs to let cliffs erode.

   b. Non-native plants can require artificial watering, leading to a rise in the water table and gully formation.
   c. Non-native plants can block the wind from moving the sand to and from the dunes.
