About
A study was initiated in 2010 (based upon the 2009 monitoring plan and continued into Phase 2) to determine the effectiveness of the Navy lookout team, including lookouts in the pilot house or on the bridge wings. In addition to the eight scientific objective, data collected as part of this study also addresses the first and third scientific objectives. Trained biologists were utilized for the study to collect data that would characterize the likelihood of detecting marine species in the field from a U.S. Navy destroyer (DDG). The University of St. Andrews, Scotland, under contract to the U.S. Navy, developed an initial protocol for use during this study.
