Applications

Biosecurity
Waterfowl are known to spread the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus, which presents a serious biosecurity risk to poultry and other livestock. This virus has been responsible for the culling of millions of chickens, leading to rising chicken and egg prices. With waterfowl presence data, farmers are able to prepare and respond to the HPAI biosecurity threat more than ever before.

Recreation
Hunters and bird-watchers alike can enhance their their next venture into the wild with the confidence that they will have a successful, waterfowl-filled trip. With bird forecasting and location comparison features included, hobbyists can know when and where they can go for the best outing.

Environmental Impact
Understanding the distribution of waterfowl is essential when it comes to determining environmental impact- and cost of the environment- for several sectors. Conservationists, permitting agencies, insurance companies, developers, researches, and more, can all benefit from this data to ensure that they minimize environmental impact as well as cost associated with waterfowl.
