About Frederique Beroset

Frederique Beroset MBA & MS Biology established Dune Doctors in after years spent researching native coastal plants and developing protocols to grow underused species. With a background in plant biology, Beroset stresses the importance of using plants native to the area when restoring a habitat. As a respected expert in coastal restoration, Beroset designs projects with a strong emphasis on scientific protocols. Details such as the mixed variety of vegetation, size, and quality of plantings, and the integration of genetically similar species are key factors that result in a higher than average success rate for Dune Doctors.
