5203 |a"In Canada, the 2008 Statement of Canadian Practice with respect to the Mitigation of Seismic Sound in the Marine Environment provides the minimum standards for mitigation and monitoring requirements during seismic activities that use air source arrays, as well as techniques to minimize the effects of seismic sound on marine fauna. While the Statement specifies the need for qualified and trained marine mammal observers (MMOs) and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) operators to conduct required mitigation measures and monitoring activities, it does not define what it means for MMOs or PAM operators to be "qualified" or "trained". The Statement also does not specify any data collection protocols and templates, or any type of post-survey reporting. This document outlines recommended standards, from a scientific perspective, for the qualification, training, data collection, and reporting by MMOs and PAM operators working on geophysical surveys. These standards were developed by DFO Science as part of the Ministerial commitment made in June 2020 that DFO develop, communicate, and implement standards/certifications for MMOs that set out specific training and experience requirements for these personnel. The recommended standards are meant to be applicable in all three of Canada's oceans, and though they apply specifically to MMOs and PAM operators engaged during geophysical surveys, many elements outlined in this document may also be relevant in other situations where marine mammal monitoring is undertaken"--Abstract, page vi.
