Berrow Dunes has long been recognised as an important area for nature conservation with the nature reserve deemed to be a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The sand dunes are considered rare, both on a national and local scale as they contain a wide variety of coastal habitats supportting a range of flora and fauna. At least 270 flowering plants have been recorded in the area.
The reserve is actively managed by Sedgemoor District Council, Natural England and Somerset Wildlife Trust.
