| The proximity of the coastal line means a lot to the Danes. Nowhere in Denmark is the sea further away than 52 km.
Because the coasts in this way are present everywhere, we put an effort in protecting the coastal landscapes. But we also have to maintain and construct wind mill parks, sluices, and harbours, and at the same time make sure that the impact on the natural environment be minimised. In spite of this, changes are frequently observed in the coastal fauna and flora. Some of these changes lie outside the reference frame for natural variation, and must thus be regarded as caused by human interference.
Monitoring of living organisms can be utilised in an effective early warning system for the timely recording and abatement of environmental threats.
WaterFrame can offer to perform EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment), and carry out both standardised monitoring and individually designed elucidation and research projects in the coastal zone and in the near-coastal part of the sea, for instance:
- Occurrence and density of marine mammals, sea birds, fish, bottom fauna and plankton.

- Trophical structures, energetics, turn-over and biomass.
- Monitoring and assessment of anthropogenic effects on the wildlife: migration, reproduction, survival, age composition and size.
- Tailor-made investigations.
