Storm Effects on Habitats
Storm evidence
Before the storm: the dune was covered with marram grass, which held the sand in place. A small stream ran clearly through the reserve. Insects lived among the dune plants, and fish and herons were seen in the stream. After the storm: strong waves washed away part of the dune, leaving bare sand. Salt water flooded the stream, and the water became cloudy with stirred-up sand. Fewer insects were seen among the damaged plants. Some fish were found sheltering in a calmer pool upstream. Herons were still seen near the stream. Food-web evidence: herons eat fish from the stream's lower size range. These fish eat aquatic insects. Insects live among the dune plants.

- The dune became covered in more marram grass.
