Scientific/technical activitiesWater birds in the Odra estuary. Three counts of waterbirds in the Odra estuary started in 2020 by West Pomeranian Nature Society, CCB Member Organization. The study covered the most important areas where waterbirds congregate during the non-breeding period. These areas are located mainly along the Odra River valley and in the Odra estuary, which includes the Szczecin Lagoon, the Kamień Lagoon and Lake Dąbie. The monitoring also covered Lake Miedwie and the fishponds in Dzwonowo – these two sites lie beyond the Odra valley and the estuary. The study site covered an area of around 1,200 km² and about 420 km of riverbanks and waterbody shores. Counts included Grebes (Podicipediformes), Ducks, Geese and Swans (Anseriformes) and Gruiformes. In 2021 this activity has continued within the project on Development of a joint Polish-German system of cross-border ornithological monitoring in the area of the Odra estuary and in the border area west of Szczecin (2021-2022), co-funded by ERDF and Pomerania Euroregion.Completed
