Bat Acoustic Monitoring

In 2008, bat mortality surpassed bird mortality at wind farms in North America. As awareness of bat fatalities grows, regulators are increasingly evaluating the potential for bat impacts at proposed projects. To address this, Normandeau developed the ReBAT™ remote bat acoustic technology system and the PreBAT TK™ tower mounting kit.
