Description
This dataset contains data on a monthly survey for beached birds along the entire Belgian coastline during winter.The number of dead birds and the percentage of birds fouled with oil is a usefull indicator for the state of healt of the environment. more
This dataset, since1962 managed by the Institute for Nature Conservation, contains the monitoring data of a monthly survey for beached birds along the entire Belgian coastline during the winter period (September to March). The number of dead birds and the percentage of birds fouled with oil is a usefull indicator for the state of healt of the marine environment.
