Edgewise Environmental is teaching a virtual *Protected Species Observer* (PSO) course, beginning on *May 19th *and running until *June 9th*. This course is completely *online* with no at-sea practical, so it can be completed around your busy schedule. You complete 2 modules per week at your own pace with instructor meetings based on your schedule. The Edgewise Environmental PSO course shall focus on mitigation processes of offshore aspects that may impact marine mammals and sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico and aligns with the BOEM (Bureau of Ocean Energy Management) and NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service) criteria for Protected Species Observer certification. This certification may also be required in other areas of USA jurisdiction. Given this course does not have a practical component, we (Edgewise) require trainees to have completed a previous Marine Mammal Observer certification as well as have completed 12+ weeks of documented and dedicated marine mammal observation. Proof shall be required before being accepted to the course.
