RDUK contributes to the development of scalable and sustainable new products and services, we aim to extend opportunities for experiencing the marine business sector and marine science to the next generation of potential Marine Scientists, Environmentalists and Entrepreneurs.

Marine Science – Long term acoustic Monitoring with Chelonia F-POD passive audio monitoring recorders around the south west coast for the CATT Project

BatBugs are zero crossing + amplitude ultrasonic loggers. Recording at 1000 KHz sample rate and running on solar power for a year or more. The BatBug software upsamples the recording to 4MHz sample rate. Data is easily exported for statistical analysis.

Cetacean monitoring. Long term, fixed point logging for trend tracking projects with low data volumes and low false positive rates.
