A study has revealed that 4-wheel drives are causing damage to Australian beaches. 

The study investigated 253 dune species, including vegetation, bird life, and marine creatures, across 20 international studies.

The research found that the species had suffered negative effects caused by off-road vehicles.

Professor of Marine Science at the University of the Sunshine Coast, Thomas Schlacher, joined Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons to discuss the results of the study.
