Benchmark: Marine Mammal Protection Act Compliance for Gulf Surveys

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Compliance and Implementation of the Final Rule on Marine Mammal Protection. In a few minutes, you’ll see whether you grasp why the rule exists, how it alters field operations, what trade-offs it asks you to make, and how prepared you are to meet mitigation, monitoring, and reporting expectations.

What you’ll get:
– A quick read on whether you’re ready to pursue an LOA now or need core foundations first.
– Clarity on gaps around the LPAI standard, time–area restrictions, PSO roles, shutdown decisions, documentation, and adaptive management.
– A targeted learning plan that shows which course sections will save you time, reduce compliance risk, and improve operational predictability.

These benchmarks are taken before the course to quantify how much value you’ll get from enrolling and to focus your learning on the areas that matter most for safe, compliant geophysical surveys in the Gulf of Mexico.
