Surveys of seabirds at sea from th deck of research vessels
Seabird population assessment demands systematic observational discipline paired with strategic ecological analysis. Our vessel-based research captures species dynamics across designated study zones and control areas, meeting international protocol requirements while delivering decision-ready intelligence.
Systematic detection methodology captures complete seabird activity
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.
Transect-based approach
Our transect-based approach monitors all swimming and flying birds within 600-metre corridors (300m per vessel side), enhanced by snap-shot technique for aerial species documentation. Dual-observer configuration ensures comprehensive coverage, with dedicated coordination for meteorological parameter recording.
Species intelligence transforms observations into strategic understanding
Our analytical framework delivers comprehensive reporting encompassing species composition, abundance metrics, dominance structures, temporal abundance variation analysis, and spatial distribution patterns for priority species across study and reference zones.
Spatial intelligence visualisation reveals density patterns through colour-coded mapping, enabling immediate recognition of critical concentration areas and resource distribution patterns.
This integrated approach provides the complete picture of marine avian communities—transforming systematic observations into strategic intelligence that informs development decisions and conservation priorities across marine environments.
