During surveys, we systematically examine which plants or animals occur within the specified area, along with various environmental factors. Monitoring plays an important role in nature management, policy and restoration. Furthermore, for developments or habitat management measures, it may be necessary to perform a survey for protected species.

Monitoring is essential in wildlife management, policy descisions and restoration ecology. Monitoring data can be used to assess the value of sites for wildlife and the effectiveness of management measures.

Our ecologists have decades of experience of monitoring techniques, for all species groups and habiats. We carry out vegetation surveys and mapping on land and underwater. We also have specialists in the field of insects, amphibians, reptiles, (marine) mammals, birds, fish, macrofauna, plankton, algae and benthos. We have extensive experience with standardised methods, such as for subsidies, N2000 sites and the Water Framework Directive as well as marine and offshore monitoring. We also use our knowledge to develop new methods and customised monitoring techniques!
