On 3 March 2017, several demo sessions at the VLIZ Marine Science Day in Bruges (Belgium) highlighted different aspects of the Flemish LifeWatch infrastructure, and its related components:
The LifeWatch infrastructure [Dekeyzer Stefanie, Deneudt Klaas, Vandepitte Leen, Goffin Annelies, Claus Simon and Hernandez Francisco]
GPS tracking network of Lesser Black-backed Gulls and Herring Gulls breeding at the southern North Sea coast [Stienen Eric, Desmet Peter, Hernandez Francisco, Lens Luc and Müller Wendt]
Studying plankton diversity in the Belgian Continental Zone: Research opportunities (live demo of the FlowCam) [Mortelmans Jonas, Debusschere Elisabeth, Vranken Sofie, Tyberghein Lennert, Deneudt Klaas and Hernandez Francisco]
The acoustic receiver network: a sea of opportunities [Reubens Jan, Verhelst Pieterjan, Pauwels Ine, Van Hoey Stijn, Deneudt Klaas, Desmet Peter, and Hernandez Francisco]
A new version of the Maritime Boundaries Geodatabase [Oset Garcia Paula, Souza Dias Francisco, Claus Simon, De Hauwere Nathalie, Vanhoorne Bart, Hernandez Francisco and Mees Jan]
Especially the physical presence of the FlowCam device at the plankton demo proved to be a big hit and attracted many interested people.
