Marine Mammal Observer and Passive Acoustic Monitoring Handbook

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.

She undertook a post doc in commercial aquaculture at Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS UK) planning and directing a comprehensive series of acoustic trials on seal scarers. She holds degrees in the ecology and acoustics of bats (PhD Leeds University UK) Oceanography (MSc scholarship-funded by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution WHOI US and National Oceanography Centre UK) and Marine Biology (BSc Hons Liverpool University UK). Dr Todd is also a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London. She is experienced in Galápagos fish taxonomy marine mammal acoustics and marine mammal visual and acoustic surveys worldwide for scientific commercial and defence contracts. Research interests include bioacoustics the North Sea rigs-to-reefs concept harbour porpoise foraging ecology around offshore oil and gas installations and the effects of anthropogenic noise on marine life all of which are core research topics at OSC. Dr Todds current scientific duties include training survey design and project management fieldwork data analysis reports literature reviews advice documents Marine Mammal Mitigation Plans or Protocols (MMMPs) and publishing. As the Chief Scientist she also coordinates most research. Ian Todd is a founding Managing Director and Marine Science Consultant at OSC and is undertaking part-time postgraduate research in harbour porpoise (and other marine mammal) interactions with offshore installations and the environment at ISVR (PhD Southampton University UK). He holds degrees in Marine Resource Development & Protection (NERC-funded MSc scholarship Heriot-Watt University UK) and Business & Economics (BCom with Honours Edinburgh University UK) various diplomas including Marine Engineering (HND Glasgow College of Nautical Studies UK) and a Marine Engineering Officer Certificate of Dual Competency (Class IV Steam and Motor Plants Maritime & Coastguard Agency UK). As a former Third Engineer Officer (including Health and Safety Officer) in the Merchant Navy Mr Todd served deep-sea and worldwide with P&O Nedlloyd then the worlds largest container-shipping company. He organises and supervises visual and acoustic surveys of marine mammals worldwide for scientific commercial and defence contracts. Mr Todds research interests are as per OSCs core research topics but include distance sampling and his current scientific duties are similar to Dr Victoria Todd but include recruitment procurement logistics finance brand development environmental risk assessments and Health & Safety (H&S). Erica Morrin is a Marine Science Consultant at OSC. She holds degrees in Marine Mammal Science (MRes University of St Andrews UK) and Biology (BSc with Honours Queens University Canada). Ms Morrin is involved with commercial consultancy and has served Lead (field position) for visual and acoustic surveys of marine mammals worldwide for scientific and commercial contracts. Ms Morrins research interests are as per OSCs core research topics and her current scientific duties are similar to Ms Gardiner but include data analysis and personnel supervision. Jane Gardiner is a Research Assistant at OSC. She holds degrees in Applied Marine Science (MSc) and Marine Biology (BSc with Honours) both from University of Plymouth. Ms Gardiner is involved with peer-reviewed research publications and has served Lead (field position) for visual and acoustic surveys of marine mammals worldwide for scientific and commercial contracts. Ms Gardiners research interests are as per OSCs core research topics and her current scientific duties include fieldwork literature reviews social media and H&S.
