oh, yeah. we have one on the end of the slip down here. yeah. so, some of the initial research was actually designed to look at how animals are actually using some of these habitats, how are they re using these highly tidal areas around the north coast of scotland. and we are certainly seeing that these areas do seem to be important for harbour seals around this area. and indeed, we do see animals coming relatively close to the turbines, but it s really that fine scale behaviour that we re really interested in. what do animals do when they really come close to the turbines? to answer this unknown, sinking a monitor next to a turbine might be key. so, douglas, this is going to be submerged underwater. can you take us through the technology here? that s right, of course. so, the two main sensor technologies we ve got on it are the active sonars we re using for tracking seals, primarily, because they don t make much noise underwater. so, they send out a very, very high frequency ping,
