Comments: Ammophila arenaria, the European dune grass, was introduced into California to stabilize coastal dunes in<br />

the 1800s. It has now spread from southern California up to British Columbia, outcompeting native plants and reducing<br />

habitat for the threatened Western Snowy Plover.<br />
