Seismic Mitigation

Marine mammals rely on sound for all of the fundamental biological and ecological aspects of their lives including navigation, prey location and capture, predator avoidance, and communication (including during migration and reproduction). There is increasing concern regarding the potential effects of the airgun sound produced during geophysical seismic surveys on marine mammals.

VPMarine has over twenty years experience to ensure that the identification of Marine Mammals in an area where there is seismic activity is managed effectively and as quickly as possible. VPMarine focus on providing accurate and clear information so the impact in work schedules can be minimised.
