BAT BiOTA:

Bat Acoustic Monitoring & Survey Services

A Terrestrial Division of Marine Biota

BAT BiOTA provides full-service bat monitoring, survey design, and acoustic analysis for environmental assessments, transportation planning, and wildlife research. Our focus is on delivering high-quality data that supports regulatory compliance, habitat protection, and long-term conservation outcomes.

We lead and manage all phases of bat survey projects from deployment planning to data analysis and final reporting, with expertise grounded in acoustic ecology and field-based research.

Comprehensive Bat Monitoring Services

  • Emergence Surveys

    Systematic visual and acoustic surveys conducted document bat emergence from roost structures such as bridges, culverts, and buildings. Used to estimate colony size, timing of activity, and inform impact assessments for infrastructure projects.

  • Acoustic Surveys

    Deployment of full-spectrum ultrasonic detectors to record echolocation calls for identifying species presence, measuring nightly activity, and evaluating habitat use. Survey designs follow required state and federal protocols, with attention to seasonal timing and detector placement standards.

  • Roost Habitat Assessments

    Field-based evaluations of potential or known bat roosts, including structural features, surrounding habitat quality, and signs of occupancy conducted in advance of construction, repair, or vegetation management activities.

  • Seasonal Monitoring

    Targeted monitoring during active seasons to meet requirements under NEPA, ESA, and state environmental review processes. Includes project-specific protocols for assessing impacts and identifying protected species.

  • Acoustic Data Review & Reporting

    Analysis of acoustic recordings to provide reporting with detection results, and compliance-ready data outputs for permitting or regulatory documentation.
