The films (presented by Joe Lindsay from BBC Getaways) detail research carried out on the movement of sand and substrate on the Dundrum and Ballykinler beaches, the importance of conserving salt marsh and sandeel habitat, how to identify grey versus harbour seals, and what coastal bird species (such as Ringed Plover and Scoter) may be found in the area. It also highlights what can be done to protect important habitat features and species found in the NNR for future generations to enjoy.
