Video Title: SPR BIOSCAN Project

Inverters are great indicators of how

well habitats are doing we undertake a

lot of monitoring uh to make sure that

our pet and restoration is doing well

and what we want it to do if we were

going to monitor invertebrates 5 10

years ago then we would have had to have

send somebody out with a n and it would

take days to collect it would take days

to identify here we've got a tent that's

doing it for free and over 24 hours so

it's even doing it at night when most

surve is wouldn't and then it's also

going to get sent off and a computer is

going to analyze the DNA to tell us what

we've got so for Ecology it's important

because this is really pushing the

boundaries of modern monitoring

techniques and that's really important

for Scottish Power Renewables as a

responsible developer but at the moment

we use hydrological data and vegetation

data to see how well our monitoring is

doing invertebrates add a whole other

layer and the amount of data we're going

to get is going to be huge we're moving

into Big Data kind of levels and that

just makes the results of our monitoring

that much more robust there's a future

for Edna in monitoring projects for spr

we're looking at this and seeing how we

can integrate it into some of our

techniques just because it adds so much

data and so much
