1. Conduct an aerial survey of all coastal areas in Ireland during the Harbour Seal moult period (Aug-Sep), using a thermal imaging video camera to detect groups of seals ashore and a high resolution photo camera to record all groups of seals encountered.

2. Data analysis to provide species identification, count and spatial data using the imagery and location data collected during the survey.

3. Produce a comprehensive report describing the survey, findings, tables and maps presenting seal abundance and distribution data.

4. Provide all data collected during the survey in digital format (video files and photographs), as well as the final seal count and location data (Excel spreadsheet and GIS shapefile).
