You fund platforms in a harbour on Lake Geneva. We take care of everything. Each season, a report ready for your audits.
No obligation
THE BIRD
It normally builds its nest in the reeds, at the water's edge. So does the Eurasian coot. But on Lake Geneva, there are almost none left.
It falls back on harbours
It nests on whatever floats just above the water: swim platforms, boat covers, mooring lines.
Near threatened in Switzerland
That is the great crested grebe's status.
An occupied nest must not be touched
Art. 17 of the Swiss Hunting Act, everywhere in Switzerland, including on a private boat.
THE PROBLEM
Swim ladder, net, boat cover, underside of the gangway: it takes whatever floats. As long as the nest is active, neither the nest nor the boat can be moved. At least 30 days, in the middle of the season.
On the swim ladder, under the cover.
In the net, against the engine.
Against the hull, on whatever floats.
WHAT YOU FUND
The harbour pays nothing up front. You fund it, we take care of everything, you get the proof.
Installation in February, monitoring from April to July, removal in September, report in October.
FEBRUARY
Before the birds return.
APRIL · JULY
Regular checks, photos.
SEPTEMBER
The equipment comes out of the water.
OCTOBER
Dated, illustrated, ready for your sustainability report.
WITH THE PLATFORM
The grebes bring their own twigs to it and settle there. The boat stays free.
The nest on the platform, the engine free.
Four eggs, next to the boat.
The grebe on the platform, nothing on the boat.
Moored to the pontoon, in the middle of incubation.
The coot uses it too.
Amounts are discussed case by case, depending on the number of platforms and the harbour chosen. In both cases, your logo can appear on the platforms.
