    A harbour without nests on the boats. With nothing to manage.

    An annual subscription: we survey, we install, we monitor the season, we remove before winter. You get a report you can present at a council meeting.

    ON THE GROUND

    Already in the water in 12 harbours: 10 on Lake Geneva, 2 on Lake Neuchâtel.

    Municipalities, harbour masters, boat owners. They tell it best.

    “The result is positive.”

    Anouk Gäumann, municipal councillor, Saint-Prex

    “It works very well.”

    THE SUBSCRIPTION, SEASON BY SEASON

    What you no longer have to do.

    The harbour installs nothing, stores nothing and replaces nothing. The price depends on the number of berths and the storage option.

    Installation in February, monitoring from April to July, removal in September, report in October.

    FEBRUARY

    Survey and installation

    We identify the berths at risk and install before the grebes return.

    APRIL · JULY

    Season monitoring

    Regular checks, one single contact if there is a nest.

    SEPTEMBER

    Removal and storage

    We take the platforms out. Storage on site or with us.

    OCTOBER

    Season report

    Nests recorded, boats kept free, photos. Ready to present at a council meeting.

    Start with one jetty. Expand later.

    Most harbours start with a trial in one section. Would you rather buy the platforms and manage them yourself? That is possible too.

    One jetty to start with: installation, one monitoring visit, a written review.

    Art. 17 of the Swiss Hunting Act protects occupied nests everywhere in Switzerland. When a boat owner loses patience, it is the harbour that gets named. 24 heures investigated nests destroyed at Vidy, and an interpellation was filed in the Vaud Grand Council.
