Marine Animal Movement Portal

Gain crucial insights to support your EIAs

 

An ecosystem-based management approach requires knowledge of vulnerable species' locations and their responses to human activities like oil spills and underwater noise from shipping, airguns and pile driving. However, this data is often unavailable for free-ranging animals such as seabirds and marine mammals, limiting the effectiveness of traditional risk assessments.

 

The Marine Animal Movement Portal addresses this issue by utilising advanced dynamic habitat and agent-based modelling techniques to provide comprehensive descriptions of the presence and movement of vulnerable species. With this tool, you can now identify environmental issues early in the project cycle, easing approval processes and reducing scheduling and investment risks. By integrating MIKE Powered by DHI's industry-recognised 1D and 2D hydrodynamics, habitat and agent-based modelling technology, the Marine Animal Movement Portal offers a powerful solution in a single tool.
