3 steps into the sea- 3/4 movie about Dublin Bay

In the third episode of our journey through the BBTs, we invite you to Dublin on the Irish Sea coast. Here, the ocean meets a vibrant cultural landscape, and the tidal waters create a living laboratory for biodiversity. Dublin’s shores offer a unique perspective on how human presence, coastal ecosystems, and marine life are deeply intertwined.

As we step onto the coast, we encounter a mosaic of sandy and rocky habitats. These dynamic zones host a remarkable range of organisms—from burrowing worms and clams hidden beneath the sand to shellfish and seaweeds attached to rocks. Together they illustrate how even small-scale differences in habitat shape entire communities of life.

By exploring Dublin’s seascape, we gain new insights into the resilience and vulnerability of coastal ecosystems. The story told here, between city and sea, reflects the essence of MARBEFES: understanding biodiversity across scales and regions to better protect the future of our oceans.
