It is a silvery green coloured perennial grass, native to Europe and has been widely introduced around the world as a dune stabiliser 1. Marram grass ( Ammophila arenaria) is an exotic sand-binder and dune builder and can be found on virtually every beach in New Zealand. Threats and damage as a result of human recreation and coastal development tends not to be such a problem as many of the areas where these activities occur have already been largely denuded of pingao. In ecosystems where pingao still inhabits large areas the greatest threats are competition from the introduced plants marram grass and tree lupin, and browsing by stock, deer, rabbits and hares. Illustrations: View of Taupo Mount Egmont Rua Pahu Balaena Antipodum (southern rightwhale).The threats to the continued existence of pingao are many and varied.
