AMPLIAMAR: Expansion of marine protected areas based on the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas based on remote monitoring of seabirds
Pleamar program
The project seeks to formulate a new proposal for the expansion of the network of marine protected areas for all Spanish marine demarcations using GPS tracking of the different species and populations of seabirds as the main tool to delimit the Key Areas for Biodiversity.

- Expand remote monitoring studies of seabirds of the most sensitive and little-known species and populations.
- To collect and analyse all available information on the GPS tracking of seabirds by using new standardised analysis tools for the delimitation of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) based on GPS tracking.
- Analyse the overlap between the KBAs, the use of the marine environment by human activities and the proposal for the adaptation of the marine Natura 2000 Network and prepare a new proposal for the extension of the RAMPE.
