Technology, 3rd party data and NEF indicators - Feasibility Study

Natural England are reforming how we monitor protected sites, with the focus shifting to include the usage of 3rd party and monitoring technologies e.g. Earth Observation . This will increase efficiency and capacity for condition assessments to be made partially or entirely remotely, allowing more sites to be monitored in less time and management resources distributed effectively based on current information. Considering all habitats, this project will investigate approaches that would be available to Natural England in the short to medium term (max 5 years) to gather, store and synthesis…
