Systematic monitoring methods for vulnerable habitats
Systematic monitoring methods for vulnerable habitats

The project, developed in collaboration with the IEO-CSIC, seeks to develop methodologies and test technologies based on non-invasive sampling, to carry out comprehensive monitoring that includes the periodic evaluation of the state of conservation of Natura 2000 Network areas.

Methodology fine-tuning.


Manufacturing and testing a marine observation network based on multiparametric platforms (landers)
Manufacturing and testing a marine observation network based on multiparametric platforms (landers)

This initiative, developed in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), seeks to test and validate a system for monitoring marine biodiversity through a versatile multi-parametric lander-type platform, with long-term observations for the study of phenomena that are not measurable in point observations.


Hybrid autonomous underwater vehicles can be used to monitor habitats and retrieve mooring information
Hybrid autonomous underwater vehicles can be used to monitor habitats and retrieve mooring information

The project, developed in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), aims to test the use of autonomous vehicles to monitor marine habitats and retrieve information from moorings.


Electronic and acoustic tags are used for monitoring species.
Electronic and acoustic tags are used for monitoring species.

The project, developed in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), seeks to apply and test new tools for the tracking and monitoring of species of community interest, through the use of new low-cost and small-sized electronic tags. It also seeks the use of new data retrieval systems for monitoring species in the Natura 2000 network.

In the process of testing with tagged cetacean specimens.


Monitoring procellariform birds using acoustic recording systems and thermographic cameras.
Monitoring procellariform birds using acoustic recording systems and thermographic cameras.

The project aims to monitor the colonies of procellariformes birds present in the Canary Islands, including the Cory’s shearwater, the Little shearwater and the Madeira storm petrel, through the use of new technologies, such as thermal cameras, night vision cameras and sound recorders. This initiative aims to design new census systems to complement traditional census systems.
