Several parallel ridges may be developed, with the older ones frequently showing dense cover of halophytic chenopods. The most characteristic species is Sueda Vermiculata. Kentish Plover and Saunder’s Tern locally breed in storm beach ridges, while Hawksbill turtles use them for nesting</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Distribution: Formerly present along the majority of the mainland west coast of Abu Dhabi Island and on some barrier islands.</SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV> |
