There are a few spots left in the MPSC Protected Species Observer training course February 26-27 in Galveston, TX. 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. Lunch is provided and included in the $800 course fee (college/recent graduate and group discounts available), along with various identification guides, regulatory documents, admission to Moody Gardens Aquarium, and advice on applying to PSO positions.
