Italy has more than 7,500 km of coastline, with a strong geomorphological, climatic and biological transition between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Sand dunes are endangered by the intensification of human activities, which may eventually lead to their demise. Threats to the sand dune ecosystems mainly comes from mass seaside tourism, and the introduction of exotic species.

You can help us in proptecting this endangered environments by downloading the free App 'CSMON-LIFE' (for iOS or Android devices), and send your observations of the listed species. Once you download the App, select "Salviamo il giglio di mare" in the "Campagne di segnalazione" menu. A short video tutorials on using the app is available at this address.
