Final report of marine species monitoring for the population consequences of disturbance (MSM4CoD): An integrated approach to robustly monitoring marine mammal populations

Abstract

The overall objective of the ‘MSM4PCoD’ project is to review data collected as part of the US Navy Marine Species Monitoring (MSM) program to determine if these efforts can inform future Population Consequences of Disturbance (PCoD) analyses, in addition to exploring possible recommendations for future development. Below we describe the process and findings of the project (section 1.1) and describe the recommendations for the MSM program (section 1.2).
