Aerial surveys of seabirds at sea using direct observation methods
Direct aerial observation provides comprehensive seabird and marine mammal intelligence across designated survey areas. Since 2024, our aerial surveys combine systematic transect coverage with advanced analytical modelling to deliver precise population dynamics and spatial distribution intelligence.
Optimised flight protocols maximise detection accuracy
Pre-flight meteorological analysis ensures optimal observation conditions, with flights conducted during peak daylight hours when solar reflection interference is minimal. Standardised altitude and speed parameters, combined with dual-observer coverage, create comprehensive surveillance across survey corridors.
Synchronised data capture integrates multiple intelligence streams
Digital recording devices capture audio data in the field. Time stamps on these devices are synchronised, and during post-processing, spatial data and ornithologists’ observations — such as species identification, population counts, behavioural patterns, age and gender classification — are integrated into a unified dataset.
Advanced analytical modelling transforms observations into strategic intelligence.
Compositional analysis reveals species dynamics and population trends across survey areas. Spatial modelling generates area coverage assessments, while density mapping visualises distribution patterns through colour-coded concentration zones.
