There are almost 400 nature sites in Northern Ireland that are so precious, they are protected by law.
More than half of them - 250 - are vulnerable to being overloaded by airborne nutrients. The problem is intensive agriculture and the slurry it produces.
Agri-food in Northern Ireland is a £5bn a year business and a mainstay of the economy.
But the dairy, pig and poultry sector is having a significant environmental impact.
Housing livestock generates large volumes of waste, which has to be disposed of.
And the chosen method for much of that - slurry spreading - is affecting sensitive sites across Northern Ireland.
