Marine mammal means any cetacean or pinniped species.
Marine Mammal Impact Assessment (MMIA) is a process through which the range of
impacts on marine mammals associated with seismic survey activities are determined
and steps identified to avoid, remedy or mitigate negative effects and coordinate research
activities, as outlined in Appendix 1. Alternatively referred to as environmental impact
assessment (EIA) in other legislation.
Marine Mammal Sanctuary (MMS) means any Marine Mammal

Qualifications and experience
1.3 I am an Air Quality Consultant and hold the qualification of Master of
Science (Hons) from Auckland University in 1982.
1.4 I have 38 years’ experience in environmental science and have been
primarily involved in environmental air quality for 26 years. I have gained
experience in many aspects of this field, including atmospheric dispersion
modelling, assessment of effects of emissions to air, ambient air
training and appointing certifiers and auditors for the region.
Implementing a compliance and monitoring system What is the process of creating a FWFP? Identify the risk on farm, such as nearby waterways, taking catchment context and cultural values into consideration (we’ll be providing information on these values as part of our regional rollout).
Identify any adverse freshwater environmental effects from farming activities.
Identify existing actions that mitigate the risks, look for gaps, and list

heritage and amenity values, where the community maintains a progressive outlook. The region’s approach
to solid waste management has largely succeeded in addressing the environmental effects of disposal and is
increasingly focused on waste minimisation—by recovering, reusing and recycling. The region is also
generally well prepared to deal with natural hazards.
