Metadata: 2004, COWRIE, Towards Standardised Seabirds at Sea Census Techniques in Connection with Environmental Impact Assessments for Offshore Wind Farms in the U.K
Abstract:
Evaluates existing census techniques and determine the best currently available methods for defining bird distribution and abundance at sea. The underlying question is two fold: (1) what are the research objectives and what data are required for EIAs for offshore wind farms, and (2) how good are existing census techniques at fulfilling the objectives?
Data holder:
COWRIE Ltd.
