  Dorset's Marine & Coastal Habitats  
 


Dorset’s coastal and marine habitats include some of Britain’s rarest species, and also a wide range of more common species. Maritime heathlands, salt marsh, estuaries, cliffs and landslides, lagoons, rocky shores, sand beaches and dunes, submarine rock ledges and gravel banks together form a very diverse and productive ecosystem.
