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.
How we can help
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.
Identify risks earlier and more accurately
Leverage advanced simulations, real-time data and modelling to uncover risks sooner, target interventions and optimise survey planning.
Expedite licensing approval
Streamline the licensing approval process to ensure regulatory compliance and safeguard the well-being of vulnerable species.
Promote stakeholder accountability
Effectively convey environmental awareness to local communities, national authorities and non-profit organisations to foster accountability and facilitate informed decision-making.
Access the portal quickly and easily
Launch the portal directly from your internet browser, eliminating the need for additional hardware or complex installation processes.
Key application areas
Rely on the Marine Animal Movement Portal to:
- Run on-screen simulations of metocean parameters and animal movements for initial risk screening and project planning.
- Conduct real-time simulations to assess the effects of oil spills and noise to benefit Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs).
- Download and analyse state-of-the-art ecological modelling data to support EIAs and emergency response planning.
