accurate and realistic mapping of habitats and microhabitats. Combining its equipment with its expertise in marine mammal monitoring, it is constantly exploring innovative methods of using drones, such as the targeted deployment of audiovisual recording devices alongside dolphin families.

Recording the movements of these individuals is essential, especially in the case of rare and endangered bird species. Telemetry involves trapping an individual of the species, attaching a transmitter, and monitoring its movements either by receiving data from the transmitter remotely or by recovering it through location tracking in the field.  <\/p>\n<p>NCC\u00b4s specialized staff is experienced in both the placement of satellite transmitters and the technical and scientific support of their operation on seabirds and raptors. The NCC team has fitted more than 100 telemetry transmitters to seabirds and birds of prey in Greece to monitor their migration, routes, feeding areas, and behavior. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#X\">back to

Acoustic monitoring is crucial for recording cetaceans and underwater noise. It is applied in combination with the corresponding visual recordings and is carried out using electronic systems equipped with towed, moored, or drifting hydrophones.  <\/p>\n<p>The NCC conducts passive acoustic monitoring surveys using all available means to study underwater noise, the goal being to identify the sounds of marine mammals in the recorded files. For data collection it uses a 200-meter-long hydrophone towed by boat, or places autonomous hydrophones in monitoring areas for continuous long-term recordings, and explores the possibilities of using floating hydrophone arrays. The data collected are filtered and processed to extract the important information. The processing is carried out by specialized personnel using special acoustic analysis programs.   <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#X\">back to the menu &gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div

This system makes it possible to study nocturnal bird migration, record their flight altitude, and determine migration flows by flight altitude category and sampling zone kilometer. <\/p>\n<p>Ornithological radar is used in a variety of applications, and there have been some very interesting collaborations in the past with the corresponding units of the National Observatory (recording migratory birds and black kites in Antikythira) and with the MFIC (bird records in wind farms in Eastern Crete).<\/p>\n<p>The NCC&#8217;s ornithological radar is combined with a four-wheel drive van equipped with photovoltaic panels and a generator so that it can operate autonomously in isolated locations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#X\">back to the menu

implementation of management interventions on islets contributes significantly to improving the status of species of interest that inhabit them, while also having an impact on the overall improvement of the status of the islets themselves. The company has long-standing experience in implementing such management interventions, aimed mostly at improving the status of bird species of interest that nest on these islets. <\/p>\n<p>Indicatively, some of the company\u2019s actions are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The NCC team has carried out numerous rat eradication actions on islets where seabird colonies and Eleonora&#8217;s falcons are found, including the largest such action to date in Greece, which was implemented as part of the LIFE ElClimA project, that won the European Commission&#8217;s first prize for the best LIFE program in terrestrial habitats for 2022.<br \/>\n&#8211; To improve the availability of nesting sites for Eleonora&#8217;s falcons on islets, the company manufactures and installs artificial nests. Such actions have been carried out as part of the LIFE ElClimA &amp; LIFE ANDROSSPA projects and in collaboration with OFYPEKA in the Dodecanese.<br \/>\n&#8211; To reduce predation of Aegean seagull eggs and chicks by Yellow-legged gulls and reduce competition for nesting sites, the company has controlled Yellow-legged gull populations on islets.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the LIFE BONELLI EASTMED program and in collaboration with the Natural History Museum of the University of Crete, the Ornithological Society, and the Ministry of Environment and Energy, NCC installs small water collection points for wildlife on uninhabited islets, as well as rafts to prevent birds from drowning in open water reservoirs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#X\">back to the menu
