We were really impressed with the quality and professionalism of the Blue Planet Marine EAW Expansion Dredging - Marine Fauna Observer Training package and presentation. David’s knowledge and experience was evident throughout the presentation and when asked questions by the training participants. It has been a pleasure working with Blue Planet Marine and Macmahon will definitely recommend your services to similar construction projects in the Darwin region.

Advanced New Zealand PAM Operator Assessment

Blue Planet Marine and Seiche have combined forces and created the BPM/Seiche Advanced NZ PAMO (Passive Acoustic Monitoring Operators) Assessment. It is the only assessment for experienced PAMOs approved by the NZ Government as meeting the required standards. Only candidates with 12 or more weeks’ experience as a PAMO on marine seismic surveys (anywhere in the world) may undertake the Assessment.

Marine Mammal Observers (MMOs) wishing to work on marine seismic surveys in New Zealand waters must successfully complete a training course consistent with the standards outlined in the 2013 Code of Conduct for Minimising Acoustic Disturbance to Marine Mammals from Seismic Survey Operations. Blue Planet Marine’s NZ MMO Course is one of the few courses approved by the New Zealand Government as meeting these standards.
