Dear all, I am in the process of compiling a review of worldwide regulations relating to minimising the disturbance of marine mammals during seismic surveys. This is part of a wider project between the University of Plymouth and industrial partner Westland GeoProjects, aiming to understand and reduce the disturbance of marine mammals during seismic exploration. The review is intended to inform industrial partners, existing MMOs and marine science students who may be potential MMOs. I have accessed regulations and reports from the UK, USA, CANADA and AUSTRALIA. If anyone can help with providing any regulations or report documents on this subject from other countries, this would be much appreciated. Any information can be sent electronically to me at either: rossco@wgeo.co.uk or ross.compton@plymouth.ac.uk Many thanks for your help with this, Ross Compton Ross Compton BSc (Hons) MSc AMIBiol Environmental Manager WGP (Westland GeoProjects Ltd) Tel: UK+44(0)1288 356090 Fax: UK+44(0)1288 357910 Email: RossC@wgeo.co.uk <mailto:RossC@wgeo.co.uk> Web: www.wgeo.co.uk <http://www.wgeo.co.uk/> This e-mail and any attachments are intended solely for the addressee and are confidential.
