A rare confluence of geologic, atmospheric, and oceanographic conditions has created a singular coastal ecosystem—Tomales Dunes. This dynamic, shape-shifting formation has its own intrinsic beauty and supports a unique community of plants and animals. Tomales Dunes is like no other place on Earth. The opportunity we now have to protect this special place is as rare as the dunes themselves. To fail to act would be a tragedy.
