| HABITAT VALUE: At 300 acres, the dunes at LAX represent an internationally significant biodiversity
hotspot. Many unique subspecies are found on the dunes, including the El Segundo
dunes spineflower, El Segundo blue butterfly, four unique moths, a new species
of crab spider, two rare weevil species, and the unique El Segundo dunes Jerusalem
cricket. Approximately one hundred acres of the dunes are not included in the
existing butterfly reserve and deserve protection. The dunes are also threatened
by proliferation of invasive exotic species such as Myoporum that must be better
controlled. |
