    Situation

    The catastrophic level of predation by the American Mink has decimated the UK population of water voles. Bude Water Vole project aims to re-introduce this species back to its natural habitat within the Bude river catchment.

    Solution

    By efficient and comprehensive monitoring using mink rafts we can ensure that the re-introduced water voles have the best chance of survival. Once confirmation of tracks within the rafts is noted, trapping and despatch of the mink is carried out.
