Marine Mammal Observation (MMO) and Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM)

We carry out Marine Mammal Observation (MMO) and Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) in marine and coastal environments, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and international best practices. Through visual observation and acoustic detection, we monitor the presence and activity of cetaceans and other marine mammals, supporting the implementation of mitigation measures during offshore activities.
We prepare monitoring plans, collect visual and acoustic data, analyse and process the information, and produce technical reports.

Our services include:

• Visual observation of marine mammals during offshore and coastal campaigns;
• Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) using hydrophones and specialised software;
• Recording and analysis of sightings and cetacean vocalisations;
• Implementation of mitigation measures during potentially impactful activities;
• Preparation of monitoring plans;
• Production of impact assessment and monitoring reports;
• Support in the planning of mitigation and compensation measures.
