Written by OSC’s Dr Victoria Todd, Ian Todd, Jane (Gardiner) Warley and Erica (Morrin) Chapman, the Marine Mammal Observer and Passive Acoustic Monitoring Handbook is the ultimate guide for mitigation measures to minimise man-made acoustical and physical disturbances to marine mammals from industrial and defence activities. It is the first of its kind, the only comprehensive guide available for new and experienced Marine Mammal Observers (MMO) and Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) Operators, and it has just been dubbed the bible for the industry in its latest review, published in Marine Mammal Science.
To quote the Handbook itself ‘the authors believe that everything in life has the capacity for improvement’, and the Handbook is no exception. Feedback is always welcome. To send your comments, please email mmoandpamhandbook@osc.co.uk.
