Bird and marine mammal observation will be made while steaming during daylight along the survey trackline and possibly bird observations will be made at night with night vision glasses. Sonabuoys may be deployed as requested usually about 5 km before stations. Along the transect line, ship's speed should be kept to between 4 to 6 kts while bird and mammal surveys are on going with or without BIOMAPER-II in the water, if possible.
Investigators: please call the Dry Lab on the VHF radio (channel 6) or phone (264) and let the event loggers know that an event is about to happen so they can put a place holder in the event log. Then, log the details of the event ASAP. Remember that most events have both start and end details to be recorded.
