This document summarizes research investigating habitat change within amenity managed sand dune systems in Sandwich Bay, England. The research found that the fixed dune grassland habitat is changing to neutral grassland habitats due to a long-term increase in the water table from sea level rise, rather than from increases in nutrients. Field trials showed that management techniques like burning and cutting can encourage the restoration of fixed dune grassland habitats. The research helped change the conservation status of the dune systems from unfavorable to recovering.
