- Abstract
- The mission of the European tracking network is to track aquatic animals across Europe to better understand, protect and manage them. Telemetry is a commonly applied method to investigate the ecology and movement behaviour of aquatic species in relation to their environment. It provides a scientific basis for management and conservation and has significantly improved our understanding of ecosystem functioning and dynamics. More specifically, telemetry provides valuable data that can be used in many policies and directives. As a result, large scale nationally and regionally managed initiatives were implemented around the globe in recent years which provide opportunities for scientific excellence, funding and collaboration opportunities. ETN aims to organise the tracking community in Europa to a sustainable, efficient, and integrated pan-European biotelemetry network embedded in the international context of already existing initiatives.
