The Marine Mammal Observer Association (MMOA) is a membership based association with the aim of bringing together and representing individuals who work commercially and professionally as mitigation professionals, such as marine mammal observers (MMO), protected species observers (PSO), marine fauna observers (MFO) and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) operators, who implement mitigation measures to protect marine life during industry operations. The MMOA also provides advice on best practice, consultations and information to individuals that have an interest in marine megafauna mitigation.
