Murlough sand dunes are located on the coast of County Down, close to the seaside town of Newcastle in Northern Ireland. These are the largest sand dunes in Ireland and represent 12% of this habitat within the UK.
Murlough is a National Nature Reserve and an Area of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI), which recognises and protects the special biodiversity of the sand dunes. This article will explore three key aspects of the Murlough sand dune ecosystem — the interrelationships within the ecosystem, the way the dunes are used by people, and how this area is being managed.
