Joining Forces for Ecological Insight: Ameland Bird Watching

SeaQurrent takes a collaborative approach to expanding ecological knowledge around its Ameland test site. We’re excited to share that Stichting Amelander Musea is our first partner, a partnership based on ecological expertise, heritage insight, and community connection.

This collaboration is part of our broader commitment to observing and supporting the unique natural environment surrounding Ameland. Together, we’re contributing to ecological monitoring activities, such as bird counts and behaviour studies, helping us better understand the rich biodiversity of the Wadden Sea region. From the migratory paths of waders to the nesting habits of coastal species, each observation deepens our understanding of the local ecosystem and informs our sustainable marine practices.

Stichting Amelander Musea’s responsive, on-the-ground expertise makes them the ideal inaugural partner. By joining forces with Stichting Amelander Musea - led by curator Joppe Lodewijk— we’re demonstrating how tidal innovation, ecological monitoring and cultural stewardship reinforce one another—and we invite other local experts to help broaden that impact.

Stay tuned for stories and insights from the field as we continue this journey together!
