Case Study: Skomer Marine Nature Reserve Wales protects marine wildlife with MOBOTIX monitoring technology

Helping to monitor conservation efforts with MOBOTIX technology

The Skomer Marine Nature Reserve in Wales faced the challenge of remotely monitoring its protected marine environment for illegal fishing and managing human activity, a task made difficult by harsh weather conditions and limited staff. To address this, the reserve turned to vendor Mobotix and its M24-SEC cameras for a reliable, all-weather surveillance solution.

Mobotix implemented a decentralized camera system that provided high-resolution, wide-angle coverage of key areas. This solution included internal storage to ensure continuous recording and generated alerts for vessel movement. The result for the Skomer Marine Nature Reserve is an extremely reliable system that has withstood extreme conditions, enabling effective monitoring and helping to protect the wildlife, with real-time images also being made available to the public.
