Globally, coastal human population density is approximately three times than that of inland areas. Such development threatens the integrity of coastal ecosystems. Coastal dune systems contain unique sets of terrestrial invertebrates and native plants, and represent some of the last remaining areas of semi-natural habitats along the coasts. In our study, we monitored bee and flowering plant abundance and diversity within coastal dune systems located within protected lands and developed sites throughout South and Central Florida.
