Review: Recommended read for PSO and MMO candidates - Exactly what I was looking for!
Review: An Indispensible Handbook for Newcomers and Seasoned Professionals - Once the province of academics and conservation agencies, the field of marine mammal data collection by professional visual and acoustic monitoring has exploded in the last 15-20 years to include literally hundreds of opportunities. Both mandatory and opportunistic monitoring activities now occur aboard military vessels, offshore oil and gas activities, offshore renewable energy activities, commercial shipping and more. A flood of organizations have emerged in response to this growing need, offering observer training or observer services. As might be expected, the quality of training and the quality of visual and acoustic observing services can vary. The Marine Mammal Observer & Passive Acoustic Monitoring Handbook (MMOPAM Handbook) appears at a time when quality and consistency are desperately needed and it fills that need very well. The power of observer data, both visual and acoustic, depends on confidence in the quality of the data and of the people and technology employed to obtain those data. Both newcomers to this field and seasoned professionals can benefit from the depth and breadth of expert advice offered in this handbook. The authors have done their community and the marine ecosystem a great service in launching us all on a path toward ever higher professional standards and metrics of quality for marine mammal visual and acoustic observers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful resource for marine mammal observers
*by A***E on October 30, 2019*

Excellent, informative guide for novice and experienced observers, alike. It is always good to have a reminder of how to do things, or simply a second perspective, even if you feel you know it all. Highly recommended for any MMO or PAMO out there. A 'must-pack' item when going to sea.
