Seamap s Cetacean Monitoring System (CMS) is becoming widely accepted as an effective method of monitoring and detecting any cetaceans that may stray close to the survey vessel. This allows the
seismic crew to make accurate and informed decisions regarding shut down, and also maximise efficiency of operation. The CMS also provides a valuable tool for marine research institutions wishing
to monitor cetacean behaviour for academic studies, or for the tourist industry in search of the elusive mammals.
