Résumé
This report presents the preliminary results of the 2021/22 season net monitoring cable (NMC) trials, representing the third season these trials have been undertaken. The rationale behind these trials has been presented in WG-FSA-2021/13 which outlined the reasons behind the original prohibition of NMCs in Conservation Measure (CM) 25-03 in 1991 and the changes in technology since then, that allow their introduction. These trials were put in place as a derogation to 25-03 so the impact on bird populations could be assessed over the potential benefits of reintroducing NMCs.
