Document Description
This project involves the stabilization of the vegetated dune island known at Table Top. The area to be covered is broken up and covers approximately 2.5 acres. Stabilization known as "hay blowing" is the method that will be applied. A hay blower lays down 200 bales of hay/acre over bare sand. This is then punched in using a sheep foot attachment. Seed collected from the Oceano Dunes, Re-Green (200 lbs/A) and fertilizer (200 lbs/A) are broadcasted among the prepared area. Supplemental planting of native plants grown at Oceano Dunes greenhouse facility will be installed after the second storm front. All stabilization projects are dependent on the rains as irrigation is impossible in the dunes. This island is losing the westward ridge and the sand blowing in is cutting the island into three sections. Without punching hay onto the bare surfaces and installing plants, the stability of this island will be in jeopardy.
