About
The Navy conducts monitoring within Navy Range Complexes and testing ranges, guided by the Integrated Comprehensive Monitoring Program, as required under the MMPA and the ESA, data were collected during 10–16 February 2018 during a Submarine Commanders Course (SCC) training event. This event is the eighteenth aboard a DDG. The goals of the monitoring and this study were to: (1) collect data to assess the effectiveness of the Navy Lookout team; and (2) obtain data to characterize the possible exposure of marine species to mid-frequency active sonar (MFAS). Data collected are intended to be combined with current and future data in order to determine the effectiveness of Navy lookout teams as a whole, rather than specific to each vessel.
