The aims of the cetacean studies are to assess the importance of the sheltered waters surrounding the Maret Islands and the deeper offshore waters to regional cetacean populations. The objectives of the cetacean studies are to: - Determine the distribution and abundance of cetaceans and other marine megafauna in areas potentially affected by the proposed development; - Assess the importance of the development areas in regional terms to cetaceans and other marine megafauna; and - Identify any critical habitats for protected marine fauna in areas potentially affected by the proposed development. Studies have included aerial and boat based surveys over two years (2006 and 2007) and the deployment of acoustic loggers near Maret and Browse islands.
