Marine Mammal Observer and Passive Acoustic Monitoring Handbook is
the ultimate instruction manual for mitigation measures to minimise
man-made acoustical and physical disturbances to marine mammals
from industrial and defence activities. Based on more than two
decades of offshore experience, and a decade of supplying MMO and
PAM services (commercial and scientific), the Handbook is a
long-overdue reference guide that seeks to improve standards
worldwide for marine operations such as seismic and drilling
exploration, wind farm and civil engineering piling, dredging,
trenching, rock-dumping, hydrographical surveys, and
military/defence exercises. By popular request, this manual will
also form an accompaniment to MMO and PAM courses. The Handbook
consolidates all aspects of this discipline into one easily
accessible resource, to educate all stakeholders (e.g. MMOs, PAM
operators, suppliers, recruitment agencies, clients, contractors,
regulators, NGOs, consultants, scientists, academia and media),
regardless of experience. Topics include worldwide legislation,
compliance, anthropogenic noise sources and potential effects,
training, offshore life, visual and acoustic monitoring (theory and
practice), marine mammal distribution, hearing and vocalisations,
and report writing. Advice is provided on implementing sensible and
practical mitigation techniques, appropriate technologies, data
collection, client and regulator liaison, and project kick-off
meetings. "The Handbook is an indispensable How To guide to the
growing and increasingly important occupation of marine mammal
monitoring, written with clarity and humor by scientists who have
extensive experience in this field." -Dr Phillip J. Clapham,
world-renowned cetologist and Director of the Cetacean Assessment
and Ecology Program at the National Marine Mammal Laboratory in
Seattle.
