Tracking top predators in (marine) renewable energy development areas by https://padlet.com/isakssonnatalie/tracking_renewables In an era of big data we have access to increasingly large animal tracking datasets. These data can be useful for renewable energy siting, consenting, and monitoring. However, with little to no standardization or best practice guidelines available (as far as we know), there is the potential to lead to the misuse and misinterpretation of results. We therefore invite colleagues (that's you!) to provide insights on the appropriate use of animal tracking data in the context of top predators and renewable energy developments. While this is focused on the marine context, we welcome insights from our terrestrial friends! en-us 2024-10-21 08:01:03 UTC 2024-11-14 13:14:55 UTC hello@padlet.com https://live.staticflickr.com/1618/24747669814_f79428713b_b.jpg isakssonnatalie https://padlet.com/isakssonnatalie/tracking_renewables/wish/3179077851 Hello! Thanks for your time and interest in this topic. Our aim is to gather information on the best (most appropriate) use of animal tracking data for renewable energy decision-making and environmental monitoring. We value your input as practitioners, be it in science, government, industry or third sector. Please provide your answers as comments to the post, feel free to score them as well. Keep scrolling down for more questions. Note that all comments are visible to those with access to the poll. Thanks! Tack! Mòran taing! Danke! Gracias!

This can be down to species level if you wish (e.g. lesser black-backed gull).

Are there any that we cannot currently track and why not?

How can we get past or account for them?
