Dunes Sample Clauses
Dunes. The dune ecosystem serves as a natural buffer that protects upland property and provides a natural habitat for native animals and plants. Resident and migratory shorebirds use the beach and dune for resting, foraging, and nesting. Native dune vegetation such as sea oats, railroad vine, and sea grapes create a complex root system that serves to capture and stabilize sand to combat beach erosion. Florida Statutes 161.053 and 810.09 prohibit walking on the dunes. In order to protect the function of the dune habitat, volunteers must keep out of this protected area. Sea turtles are protected by the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973, Florida's Marine Turtle Protection Act (379.2431, Florida Statutes), and Chapter 46, Article V of the City of Miami Beach Code. It is illegal to harm or harass sea turtles, their nests or hatchlings. The City of Miami Beach is a nesting habitat for three species of protected sea turtles; the Loggerhead, the Green, and the Leatherback. Touching nesting females, taking flash pictures of nesting females or hatchlings, or digging into nest is prohibited by law. To report someone disturbing a turtle or nest: Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission 1.888.404.FWCC or *FWC or #FWC from a cell phone. To enhance the environment of Miami Beach, , herein after referred to as the “Participant”, requests permission to “Adopt-a-Beach”.

Dunes. Compared to other features found on the surface of Mars, dunes can be much more complex. They are found everywhere across the planet, either individually or as part of large sand seas, and come in number of different sizes and types. As such, there is a large range of current research concerning dunes looking at a number of different associated metrics including migration, slip face movement, ripple movement, edge position, location of different types etc. This poses an interesting question when considering dunes for a citizen science project. While the range of different metrics that can be measured could offer interesting variability in terms of task design and user engagement, some of the measurements taken by current research could be deemed either too subtle or complex for an untrained community.
