1. To retrieve and deploy 39 moorings at ECOMMASS, Seagreen and NNG marine mammal/noise monitoring locations (All with C-PODs or F-PODs cetacean click detectors; 19 with C-PODs/FPODs and sound recorders). 2. To retrieve 1 mooring near Wick/Duncansby Head. 3. To retrieve 46 moorings with VR2 salmon detectors in Aberdeen Bay. Vessel capability, weather conditions and water depth will dictate whether inshore deployment locations are operationally possible. A daily programme of work will be agreed with the vessel master. A Notice to Mariners has been issued for all mooring locations. Any updates or location changes will be issued if required. The ECOMMAS, NNG & Seagreen moorings are priority and the Salmon detectors and the Duncan by head mooring will only be retrieved once this has been done. Normal contacts will be maintained with the laboratory. |
