24N04112 - Acquisition of GPS Logger Transmitters to Track the Movements of the Kentish Plover on Beaches and Salt Pans

This tender, reference 24N04112, is for the acquisition of GPS logger transmitters. These devices are intended for tracking the movements of the Kentish Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus), a shorebird species, across beaches and salt pans. The Kentish Plover is a species of conservation concern in many regions, and understanding its habitat use, migration patterns, and foraging behavior is crucial for effective conservation strategies. GPS logger transmitters are small, lightweight devices that record location data over time. By attaching these transmitters to individual birds, researchers can gather detailed information about their movements, ranging from daily activity patterns to longer-distance migrations. The acquisition of these specialized transmitters will support ecological research and conservation efforts aimed at protecting this species and its habitats. The tender likely specifies the technical requirements for the GPS loggers, such as battery life, data storage capacity, size, weight, and attachment methods, ensuring they are suitable for deployment on small birds without causing undue harm or disturbance.

This is a supplies contract in the environment and climate, information and communication technology and Migration sectors, with a focus on Biodiversity. Located in Portugal, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 11,178.
