Seascapes explores a project to protect sand dunes on one of Dublin’s busiest coastal spots, Burrow Beach. The area was the subject of controversy earlier this year when huge crowds left tonnes of rubbish behind after one sunny weekend. But Burrow Beach is also an area where huge efforts are going in to protecting the sand dunes and their wildlife. Seascapes also goes beach-combing in county Kerry to see what is washed up, where it comes from and the natural life to be found on every coast of Ireland.
