About
Overall, the monitoring survey effort demonstrated the feasibility of performing search and behavioral observations of target species without interfering with at-sea naval training involving multiple large vessels, aircraft (both fixed-wing and helicopters), and submarines. This information can be used to continue developing effective monitoring approaches and to gather behavioral data, including baseline data, on the potential effects of Navy activities on marine resources as required under the Navy’s marine species monitoring plan for the Hawaii Range Complex. Recommendations for marine mammal monitoring during future similar Navy activities have been presented.
