Tidal stream environments are important areas of marine habitat for the development of marine renewable energy (MRE) sources and as foraging hotspots for megafaunal species (seabirds and marine mammals). Hydrodynamic features can promote prey availability and foraging efficiency that influences megafaunal foraging success and behaviour, with the potential for animal interactions with MRE devices. Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer a novel tool for the fine-scale data collection of surface turbulence features and animals, which is not possible through other techniques, to provide information on the potential environmental impacts of anthropogenic developments.

Mobile devices have become increasingly important for field monitoring to improve data capture efficiency, increase storage capacity, and replace heavy equipment. We introduce a quick and straightforward protocol to capture greenhouse gas (GHG) emission rates on mobile devices. We developed our setup on the widely used infrared gas analyzer (IRGA) EGM-4 by PP Systems.
