Data acquisition and monitoring
Profound assessment of the flora and fauna inventory is essential in environmental planning and research. We use a variety of innovative methods to carry out faunistic surveys and biotope mappings in marine, limnic and terrestrial areas with a professional focus on birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. Further areas are covered through cooperation with our partners.
- Ship transect surveys to record birds and marine mammals in the North and Baltic Sea
- Radar and visual surveys as well as night-time recording of flight calls on- and offshore
- Acoustical monitoring of harbour porpoises using different passive acoustic devices (C-PODs, WDS)
- Aerial surveys
- Digital aerial surveys of marine mammals and birds (HiDef)
- Aerial photographs and 3D terrain models using drones
- Visual surveys of birds and harbour porpoises
- Use of professional laser rangefinders to create 3D flight sequences
- Bat surveys using detectors, bat recording boxes and continuous detection systems
- Breeding and resting bird as well as bird migration surveys
- Telemetric monitoring
