Course Details
This Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) registered course is required for you to work as a Marine Mammal Observer (MMO) in UK Continental Shelf waters during offshore projects such as seismic surveys, pile-driving and projects involving the use of explosives.
Simply log in, read, learn and complete course assessments at your own pace. Simple design, easy to navigate pages (see example pages below). Assessments can be retaken if you don’t achieve the pass mark first time. Just restudy the course content. You set the pace of your learning.
The course programming is designed to work best on laptop and desktop computers. While you can view this course on mobile phones and tablets we cannot guarantee that the formatting will work on these devices.
Please note that this eLearning format is approved by the JNCC and the certificate that will be issued on completion has the same validity as those received after the classroom taught courses.
Please note the JNCC do not require these JNCC MMO mitigation training courses to have practical elements. Intelligent Ocean caters for persons who already have practical experience or encourages those who have yet to gain this experience to seek suitable fieldwork or specialist identification courses to achieve this. This online course has sections with advice on how to gain more experience.
You will have continued access to this course content for 3 years. After this time, you will have the option to renew for another 3 years for a small fee and have continued access. We will be updating the course content when regulations change and adding additional relevant material. This will be a good resource for any working professional.
The course contents are as follows:
-
Introduction to the biology and sensory world of marine mammals.
-
Potential impacts of man-made noise on marine mammals.
-
Discussion on the basis for current legislation in place for the UK to protect marine mammals during industry operations and the organisations involved.
-
Industry operations that have the potential to cause injury or disturbance, outlining the operational procedures of each one.
-
An in-depth explanation of the mitigation measures proposed for each project.
-
MMO mitigation data forms and report compilation.
-
Marine mammal identification – how to visually spot and identify animals in the field.
-
Marine mammal survey techniques and range estimation.
-
Introduction to passive acoustic monitoring.
-
Life onboard vessels or platforms as an MMO – expected conduct of working with industry personnel.
-
Course assessments with a pass mark of at least 85% required.
Example pages from the eLearning course
* Please note that persons likely to win contracts working as MMOs are those who have additional biological or environmental qualifications and/or have experience of working at sea. To work as an MMO in some areas of the UK where marine mammals are more abundant you will be required to have experience of working with marine mammals whether this is formally as a researcher, previous employment or through voluntary work.
We would expect that persons wishing to work as MMOs to already have this experience or will endeavour to do so after this course. Alternatively you may be personnel from the offshore industry sector who may like to complete an eLearning course in order to gain more knowledge of marine mammal observation during offshore operations.
