International Marine
Mammal Mitigation

3rd February 2018

As the potential impacts of anthropogenic noise in our oceans remains firmly in the environmental spotlight, we are continuing to fulfil marine mammal mitigation requirements on behalf of clients around the world.
 
Over recent years, a number of oil & gas, pipeline and offshore renewable energy projects have taken our Marine Mammal Observers (MMOs) and Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) operators to some of the most challenging and marine mammal rich waters in the world. Recent high profile projects include mitigation in humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) mating grounds off the coast of Gabon, West Africa and an internationally recognised and International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) integrated mitigation programme in feeding grounds of the critically endangered western Gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) off Sakhalin Island, North Pacific Ocean.
 
These internationally recognised projects have augmented our ever-growing portfolio of expert support to the oil & gas and offshore wind industries here in the UK.
