Marine Mammal Observers
Baltic Survey provides Marine Mammal Observers (MMOs) for marine industries including: pile driving, decommissioning, seismic exploration (2D, 3D, 4D), drilling, Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD), UXO, scientific research, geophysical surveys etc.
Our experienced and qualified Marine Mammal Observers help developers reduce potential impacts of operations on the marine environment by ensuring there are no breaches of environmental protocols or regulations. Marine Mammal Observers ensure that marine industrial operations are compliant with mitigation guidelines.
Passive Acoustic Monitoring Operators
PAM Operators (PAMO) are used to supplement MMOs during industrial operations when visual operations are not appropriate, e.g. during hours of darkness, poor visibility, or poor weather conditions. Underwater noise can be processed and analysed in real-time for detection of marine mammals using Passive Acoustic Monitoring Guardianship (PAMGuard).
