Ungroomed vs. Groomed Beaches
- "Both the surveys and experiments exhibited detrimental effects from beach grooming. On average, unvegetated zones were four times wider on groomed beaches (108 m) than ungroomed beaches (27 m). The average cover of coastal strand vegetation was higher on ungroomed beaches (1.86 m), while groomed beaches contained no measurable cover. Species richness was also significantly higher on ungroomed beaches..." - excerpt from this ConservationMaven.com article.
