Lot 1 may include elements of terrestrial and marine surveys in UK waters. Lot 2 would involve a large-scale marine data collection campaign in UK waters to address seabird flight height knowledge gaps identified through separate work. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Estimated Value:** £0 - **Description:** Natural England is the lead organisation for the ReSCUE project.
