There are a few spots available in the Protected Species Observer (also known as Marine Mammal Observer) training on September 24-25 in Boston Massachusetts. This BOEM/BSEE-compliant PSO certification course covers the regulations for reducing seismic survey impacts to marine mammals and sea turtles, and how to visually locate and identify the animals. Course comprehension is measured with examinations on regulations and animal identification. Successful completion of this course provides professional Protected Species Observer Certification. This class will be visiting the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, one of the top whale-watching destinations in the world. Lunch is provided and included in the course fee (college/recent graduate/military discounts available), along with various identification guides and regulatory documents (which will be yours to keep), the whale-watching vessel trip, and advice on applying to PSO positions. MPSC is also holding PSO training in Galveston, TX this November.
