The most effective way to reduce collisions is through the use of a novel radar system that monitors the intensity of bird migration through the area. Shutting down turbines for 25 nights reduced the numbers of collisions by ca. 75%...

Coastal ecosystems are in rapid decline around the world. Restoring them is very expensive and is often unsuccessful. But an international team of researchers discovered a way of increasing restoration success of salt marshes and seagrass meadows, using biodegradable mats.

The main aim of this project is to study dispersion and prospecting behaviour as well as site fidelity and survival. Secondary aims are to collect information on migration ecology, stop-over, foraging and wintering areas...
