Qualified Observers and Certified Training Programs
We provide certified protected species observers (PSOs) and international marine mammal observers (MMOs) highly experienced in monitoring, mitigation, and reporting requirements for a wide variety of offshore and nearshore operations.
MVI’s team of PSOs are qualified to offer comprehensive on-deck support for projects requiring specific US state and federal regulations for protected species. We also provide MMOs for projects anywhere on the globe who are trained in best management monitoring and reporting protocols, as defined by the JNCC, for international operations with the potential to impact protected species.
MVI specializes in the monitoring of whales, dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, sturgeon, and smalltooth sawfish in offshore and nearshore waters, as well as shoreside surveying of nesting sea turtles, shorebirds, gopher tortoises, and coastal snakes. As experts in the recruitment, training, and management of PSOs/MMOs, MVI is ready to meet all project requirements with personnel and custom training.
