Survey for Scarborough BC
People Involved
Project Description
The project entails determining how common seabirds and shorebirds use the harbour area and beaches around the piers in Whitby during late autumn/winter. It is a survey commissioned by Scarborough BC, to be undertaken before any remedial works are carried out on the piers so that the council understand if the work will cause any disturbance to over-wintering birds and whether or not there are other sites they can use in the vicinity of the area whilst works are undertaken.
