Marine Mammal Surveys Completed off French Guiana

Since December 2018, Azura has been working with the Cohabys – Adera team for Créocéan to conduct marine mammal surveys off French Guiana prior to and during oil and gas drilling operations.

Two types of surveys were conducted. The large-scale survey aimed to collect data on the presence and distribution of marine mammals, as well as sea turtles and seabirds, up to 40 km around the drill site. During the small-scale survey, scientists visually monitored for marine mammals and sea turtles up to 4 km around the drill site during drilling operations.

Scientists also utilized a passive acoustic monitoring system to acoustically monitor for marine mammals in real-time. Surveys were conducted monthly with the final survey completed in March 2019.
