A new posting for MARMAM if possible please; Dear all, The University of Plymouth, in conjunction with WGP Seismic Ltd has developed a new Marine Mammal Observer (MMO) course. This is aimed at equipping delegates with the knowledge and skills to work as MMOs during offshore operations, primarily seismic surveys. The 3-day course is intended for those with limited or no offshore experience, incorporating modules on marine mammal biology and observation, the potential effects of underwater noise, modern seismic survey techniques and worldwide mitigation guidelines. An introduction to Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) is also included. The first course will run from January 26th to 28th. The course is accredited by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee and meets the criteria as advised by other countries. It will be run at the University of Plymouth, and booking information is available from; http://www.hs.plymouth.ac.uk/pages/dynamic.asp?page=pd_course&course=431 Further course details are available from; http://www.oceanear.com <http://www.oceanear.com/> Best regards, Ross Ross Compton Environmental Manager WGP Seismic Ltd - WGP Projects Ltd Tel: UK+44(0)1288 356090 Mob: UK+44 (0)7761 484229 Fax: UK+44(0)1288 357910 Email: rossc@wgeo.co.uk Web: www.wgeo.co.uk <blocked::http://www.wgeo.co.uk/> This e-mail and any attachments are intended solely for the addressee and are confidential.
