ESAS Training Services
Cork Ecology offer training courses for seabird and cetacean surveys and data entry. Courses are flexible and can be adapted to suit the attendees.
Seabird and cetacean surveys (ESAS Accredited)
In the last 20 years, a standard method of counting seabirds from ships has been adopted in Europe. Participating countries contribute data to the European Seabirds at Sea (ESAS) database which is maintained by the JNCC's Seabirds At Sea Team.
This course is designed to train marine surveyors to an ESAS accepted standard, ensuring good quality data is collected, which may be included in the ESAS database. A flexible approach to training will be adopted, depending on previous experience and individual circumstances.
Data entry
This course is designed to compliment the marine survey methods training course detailed above. The course assumes that clients will be following the JNCC method of data entry and data collation using the database programme Paradox. The course covers basic data entry methods.
Follow up support and troubleshooting is also available, as required.
Further details of both courses are available on request.
