Course to cover 4 days of classroom sessions to cover ACCOBAMS Mitigation, Marine Mammal Observation (MMO – 1 day in class), though it is assumed most will have prior experience, Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM - 2 days in class) and QGIS (1 day in class). Additionally there will be two boat based days with a towed array and visual watches.
