Synthesizing Motus Data across the NERRS for Research, Education, and Conservation

Synthesizing Motus Data across the NERRS for Research, Education, and Conservation

Webinar Description

Over half of the NERRs have Motus wildlife tracking stations, which provide new information on the presence and movements of animals. Given the NERRS’ increasing number of Motus stations, growth of the resulting databases, and interest in these data from within and outside of the NERRs, there is an opportunity to develop a collaborative community and supporting infrastructure within the NERRS. This catalyst project’s five objectives were to: create a website to display Motus data across the NERRS, develop educational resources, develop an in-person education experience at the North Carolina NERR, construct towers at four sites that previously did not have towers, and promote communication and collaboration among NERRS staff. In this webinar, the project team demonstrated how to use the products that they developed and discuss how to learn more about Motus and the state of the network within the NERRS, and get involved.
