unreferenced date November 2010 A marinemammal observer MMO is a professional in environmental consulting who specialises in whale s and dolphin s. In recent years there has been increased concern for the effect of man made noise pollution in the ocean, particularly upon cetaceans which are known to be sensitive to sound. As a result, environmental regulation s have been introduced in an attempt to minimise negative impacts on marine wildlife. These guidelines have focused on the oil industry s seismic exploration for offshore oil. They centre on the practice of delaying or shutting down the use of air guns if a whale or dolphin is sighted nearby. An MMO will implement these regulations in the field. When on board the seismic vessel, the MMO s job is two fold To spot sensitive wildlife species To ensure adherence to the guidelines. Spotting, and identifying, animals involves long hours of visual surveys. Detecting cetaceans with hydrophone s is known as Passive Acoustic Monitoring PAM , and this is an increasingly common technique used in addition to visual surveys.

The North Atlantic MarineMammal Commission NAMMCO is an international body for co operation on conservation, management and study of marinemammal s in the North Atlantic . The body was founded in 1992 by its current members Norway , Iceland , Greenland , and the Faroe Islands . The organisation came about because the nations were and continue to be unhappy with the international management of cetacean s and other marine mammals by the International Whaling Commission . NAMMCO believes that whaling should be more extensive than that currently allowed under the IWC moratorium which prohibits all large species whaling with a few specific exceptions. Nations opposed to whaling, such as the United Kingdom , do not recognise NAMMCO s claim to be the right body for management of whale stocks in the North Atlantic, and continue to support the IWC. History and structure NAMMCO was founded in Nuuk , Greenland on 9 April 1992 by the signatories to Agreement on Cooperation in Research, Conservation and Management of Marine Mammals in the North Atlantic . The Agreement came into force on 7 July 1992 and was itself the product of a Memorandum of Understanding signed in Troms in 1990 between the Norwegian and Icelandic governments and the Greenland and Faroese home rule governments. The purpose of the organisation is set out in Article 2 of the agreement. The commission has three parts. The council is the decision making part of the commission, which requests, and acts on, advice from its management committees, which make proposals for management of marine mammals stocks within the region, and from the scientific committee which reviews current scientific literature and carries out its own scientific research. The commission also hosts workshops and forums devoted to hunting methods and environmental questions. References http www.nammco.no NAMMCO homepage http www.highnorth.no Library ...
