There are a few spots available in Protected Species Observer training (also known as Marine Mammal Observer training) on February 25-26 in Juno Beach, Florida. This class will meet at the Loggerhead MarineLife Center, and will include a private tour of the facility. We will discuss the identifying traits and behaviors of different species and age classes of sea turtles while viewing the animals in person, a value which cannot be obtained in viewing static pictures. This BOEM/BSEE-compliant PSO certification course covers the regulations for reducing seismic survey impacts to marine mammals and sea turtles, documenting animal behavior, and how to visually locate and identify the animals. Course comprehension is measured with examinations on regulations and animal identification. Successful completion of this course provides professional Protected Species Observer certification. Lunch is provided and included in the course fee (college/graduate/government discounts available), along with various identification guides and regulatory documents (yours to keep), a private tour of the Loggerhead MarineLife Center, and advice on applying to PSO positions. MPSC is also holding PSO training in Honolulu, Hawaii on April 8-9.
