The Joint Industry Programme on E&P Sound and Marine Life (the JIP) is releasing a new "Requests for Proposals" solicitation on "Determination of the Environmental Impact of Marine Vibrator Technology". This Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks proposals for independent studies to advance understanding of the potential environmental impact of Marine Vibrator (MV) technology. Building upon previously completed JIP work on this topic, this study will further evaluate potential environmental impacts of prototype MV device output signals on marine mammals. The impacts of most interest for investigation are related to auditory masking and behavioural response. The specification for the RfP and instructions on how to apply are given at http://www.soundandmarinelife.org/funding/rfps.aspx . Interested parties should submit their proposals by 10th May 2019.
