Carlingford Lough is an area of considerable natural beauty. It is also a busy waterway with commercial harbours at Warrenpoint and Greenore. There are mussel beds in the Lough and there is mussel harvesting on a significant scale. Three of the dredgers involved in the trade are seen at the re-built Town Dock at Warrenpoint.
