There are a few spaces left on the JNCC-recognised MMO course for UK
waters, 4 & 5 September 2023 (remote delivery by Zoom).



This course will cover all the information needed for work as a Marine
Mammal Observer (MMO) in UK waters.  Taught by an instructor with over 25
years experience, the course content includes:



1) Impacts of noise on marine mammals

2) Introduction to activities that require mitigation

3) Legislation protecting marine mammals and marine licensing

4) Detailed examination of the JNCC guidelines for geophysical surveys,
pile driving and explosives

5) Data recording and reporting requirements

6) Visual monitoring and distance estimation

7) Overview of passive acoustic monitoring

8) Working as an MMO/ PAM operator

9) Identification of marine mammals



Zoom sessions will be a mixture of lectures and exercises, over 1.5 days.
Any exercises not completed during the sessions can be completed in your
own time.  There is also an online multiple choice exam to be done at your
convenience after the Zoom sessions (re-sits are possible if you don't pass
first time).



The cost of the course is £180 (180GBP).  The course is limited to small
numbers; each delegate gets individual feedback on their exercises and the
exam.  On successful completion of the course (including the exercises and
exam) you will receive JNCC-recognised certification, which is required for
work as an MMO in UK waters.
