Boundary research area otters

Boundary of the research area of ​​otters in Alblasserwaard. A map with distinguished potential habitats and migration routes and a map with all bottlenecks, categorized on the basis of priority. A traffic bottleneck exists when there is a reasonable chance of traffic casualties at a location within or between current habitats (Kuiters & Lammertsma, 2014). When assessing the urgency of a traffic bottleneck, the following was taken into account: 1. The suitability of the waterway and riparian zone as a migration route for the otter. 2. The type of road (municipal, provincial or national road). 3. The maximum speed on the road in question (fatal from 60 km/h). 4. The presence of an underpass and its size and type. 5. The presence of obstacles in the underpass. 6.The presence of accompanying grids along the road. The map of the Nature Network of the Netherlands (NNN) was used to examine the extent to which the potential habitats and migration routes match the ecological connection that has been/are being realised.
