Actually they don't grow back too fast. We actually give them a while to grow back so that when we pull the re sprouts we can get all the roots, it take like 5 years to completely remove the ammophila from a beach and about 5 more for the natives to take hold over the beach again.

That seems like a lot of wait, so I'm assuming if their were a way to speed up the growth process, it would be neglected, hence the growth my cause other things to occur. whee

No, once we pull we let nature do it's work until it's time to pull again. So you know, that's how we do. We don't use any unatural processes like chemicals or what have you. Just hard work and time.

Alright, but still, you have to be wary, their might be outside influences, that could change its growth, right?

Well, I think we have regulations concerning toxic spills and chemicals from the sky. But global warming, that I couldn't say about, but it could very well affect the plants growth periods. But, we're trying to reduce global climate change (which is the scientifically correct term) by pulling out the ammophila.

the only other problem that can come to my mind is that of the interference of other animals in the area.

The animals don't effect the ammophila since it's non native. It doesn't have any natural dangers. It's actually the other way around, the ammophila is really messing up the habitat for the snowy plover which is a rare and endangered species.

Yeah, it's sad, but we are knocking it out, if slowly. I reckon in 10-20 years we could totally remove all the ammophila from south spit. And the section of clam beach we're doing will probably only take 5 more years, but the section we have is pretty small.
