Dear MMO or PAM operator The Marine Mammal Observer Association is currently conducting a review of guidelines in use worldwide and we need to establish what guidelines are being used in each jurisdiction. Increasingly these seem to be modified versions of the JNCC (UK) or other guidelines. I would be grateful if you can tell me from your experience what guidelines were adopted for surveys in recent years (2007 on) and whether PAM was used. I do not wish to have any client or survey specific information which may be confidential. I just need to know 1. The country 2. The guidelines used and if modified what those modifications were briefly 3. Whether PAM was used or not. I appreciate your response on this to my email patrick@mmo-association.org Best Regards Patrick Lyne The Marine Mammal Observer Association (MMOA) Communications House 26 York Street London W1U 6PZ UK email: patrick@mmo-association.org website: www.mmo-association.org The Marine Mammal Observer Association (MMOA) http://www.mmo-association.org is a membership based association with the aim of bringing together and representing individuals who work commercially and professionally as Marine Mammal Observers (MMOs) and Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) Operators who implement mitigation measures to protect marine life during industry operations.
