Description

SWCA is assisting in weekly biological monitoring services for a 21 MW wind farm with 14 turbines on the Island of Hawaii. SWCA biologists have implemented systematic searches (both human and canine-led) for downed wildlife at all turbines to assess impacts of the wind farm to listed species. SWCA biologists also conducted searcher efficiency and carcass removal trials to determine the percentage of proxy carcasses (rats and chickens) detected in searches. SWCA used the data collected in the field to project future take with the Evidence of Absence software.
