Our researchers use a variety of models, including DEPONS (depons.eu), which simulates the effects of noise disturbance on harbor porpoises.

By simulating how noise impacts their movement and foraging success, DEPONS can assess the impacts of offshore wind farm construction and ship traffic. 🛥️🐬

CATS Cams successfully deployed!
26 harbour seals in the Danish Wadden Sea have just been tagged to study the impact of tourism 🦭
This included deployment of 10 CATS Cams and Daily Diary loggers in a new comparative study on foraging ecology between Danish harbour seals and Australian fur seals🧪
