Low cost monitoren met high tech innovatoren
As a result of the Natura 2000 measures taken by the Dutch government to improve natural habitats around the country the monitoring of various (protected) areas has become more important. However, conventional monitoring methods are often very time consuming and labor intensive, resulting in high costs. To make the monitoring campaigns more efficient and cost effective, the project 'Low cost monitoring with high tech innovations' looks into the opportunities for new technologies to help with monitoring. This addition could make monitoring faster and/or more accurate.
On three different locations (Baalhoek, Knuitershoek and Perkpolder) experiments with the new technologies will take place at the same time as the monitoring of the areas with traditional methods will be performed. Afterwards the different techniques will be compared and a program will be developed that can help various companies and stakeholders to decide which method they would like to apply in their future monitoring programs.
Research type: field research, desk analysis, lab research
Location: Knuitershoek, Baalhoek & Perkpolder, Zeeland
