Coastal management The aim of this report is to investigate Long Reef and Collaroy Beach’s coastal management. Sand Dunes The Importance of Vegetation Sand dunes are a valid indication of the quality of the soil and the surrounding ocean.

Coastal erosion is also causing the coast lines to recede and therefore taking away space for which people build on.
