Ironwood saplings (Casuarina equisetifolia) colonize the stabilized sand of the beach berm, Kanaha Beach, north Maui.
Kanaha Beach, north Maui. This photograph shows several of the species of trees, sprawling bushes, vines, and grass that help stabilize so many of Maui's sandy beaches: the tallest trees are Iron Wood (Casuarina equisetifolia), Kiawe or Mesquite (Prosopis pallida), and Candlenut or Kukui (Aleurites mollucana). The light-green bushes near the center of the photograph are Tree Heliotrope (Tournefortia argentea).

Kiawe or Mesquite (Prosopis pallida) crowd together to form a dense canopy along a beach front in the Kawalilipoa neighborhood of Kihei, south Maui. The piled-up sand along the shoreline is an artificial berm to help stave off the excessive beach erosion caused by long-shore drift along this stretch of Ma'alaea Bay.
