The shingle area of Dungeness is an unique wildlife habitat and is of international importance. It is also very fragile and easily damaged.

Dungeness is a National Nature Reserve and this Code of Conduct must be followed at all times when filming.

Because Dungeness is a Site of Special Scientific Interest you could be liable to a fine of up to £20,000 if, without reasonable excuse, you intentionally or recklessly destroy, damage or disturb the flora, fauna or shingle ridges.
