1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Marine Wildlife Monitoring Report (Report) has been prepared for Fugro Pelagos, Inc. (Fugro) to document the permit compliance and associated observations of marine mammals and turtles (marine wildlife) during a side scan sonar survey (Project) offshore El Segundo, California. The monitoring methods and avoidance measures detailed in this Report were implemented in accordance with the requirements in the existing Low-Energy Offshore Geophysical Permit PRC 8391.9 issued by the California State Lands Commission (CSLC).

Monitoring and avoidance measures were implemented during the Project to minimize adverse impacts to marine wildlife within the Project area. This Report summarizes the results of the monitoring and measures implemented during the Project to reduce or eliminate potential impacts to marine wildlife.

1.1 PROJECT ACTIVITIES

The survey was conducted within State waters along the Chevron El Segundo Marine Terminal Berths 3 and 4, offshore of El Segundo, California. The survey utilized side scan sonar to inspect the existing berths and extended in all directions to a minimum of 213 meters (m) (700 feet [ft]) beyond the anchors of the existing mooring systems (Figures 1-1). The survey was conducted from the survey vessel (SV) Jab, owned and operated by Theory Maine Services, LLC. The survey was conducted on November 13 and 14, 2016. The acoustic equipment used during the survey was an Edgetech 4125 which was operated within a frequency range of 400 to 900 kilohertz (kHz).

Fugro Pelagos, Inc. Marine Wildlife Monitoring Report Project No. 1602-2771

2.0 REGULATORY SETTING

The CSLC Offshore Geophysical Permit Program (OGPP) requires individual surveying entities to obtain an OGPP non-exclusive permit to perform low-energy geophysical surveys of the ocean bottom and marine environment. Under the OGPP, operators are permitted to conduct surveys using specific types of geophysical equipment subject to permit terms and conditions developed to minimize impacts to marine wildlife and the coastal environment. In August 2013, the CSLC identified potential impacts to marine wildlife from acoustical survey equipment within a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), and identified mitigation measures that would reduce or avoid those impacts to a point where no significant impacts would occur. This Report details the compliance with the applicable OGPP permit mitigation measures as outlined in Table 2-1.

In addition, The United States Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) of 1972, amended 1994, protects all marine mammals, including cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises), pinnipeds (seals and sea lions), sirenians (manatees and dugongs), sea otters, and polar bears within the waters of the United States. Specifically, the MMPA prohibits the intentional killing or harassment of these marine mammals; however, incidental harassment, with authorization from the appropriate Federal agency, may be permitted. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries is responsible for enforcing the MMPA.

Special status species are protected by the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (Section 9 and implementing regulations 50 CFR Part 17). The Federal ESA makes it unlawful to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect an endangered species, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. Anyone violating the provisions of the Federal ESA and regulations is subject to a fine and imprisonment. An “endangered species” is any species which the Secretaries of the Department of the Interior and/or the Department of Commerce determine is in danger of extinction throughout all or a portion of its range. A “threatened species” is any species which the Secretaries determine is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and NOAA Fisheries are responsible for implementation of the Federal ESA.

Fugro Pelagos, Inc. Marine Wildlife Monitoring Report Project No. 1602-2771

3.0 METHODS

Three days prior to the initiation of the survey, Padre marine biologists contacted NOAA Fisheries Long Beach office staff and local whale-watching groups to inquire about the species and numbers of recently observed marine wildlife near the survey area. During survey operations, the Marine Wildlife Monitor (MWM) onboard the survey vessel was responsible for observing wildlife and their behaviors during transit and data collection operations. Monitoring conditions and avoidance measures designed to decrease the potential impacts to marine wildlife were implemented as detailed in the following sections.

3.1 PERSONNEL

The side scan sonar equipment was operated at frequencies greater than 200 kHz; therefore, only one NOAA-approved MWM was required during survey operations. Jennifer Klaib, Padre Associates, Inc., Marine Biologist, was the MWM onboard the survey vessel during the Project. Monitoring was conducted during all transit and side scan sonar operations.

3.2 FISHING GEAR CLEARANCE

In accordance with geophysical permit conditions, a fishing gear clearance was conducted prior to commencement of survey operations. The survey vessel traveled along the survey corridor to confirm the presence and/or absence of fishing gear within the survey area. In addition, the onboard MWM aided in the identification and avoidance of fishing gear during survey operations.

3.3 MONITORING METHODS

Monitoring occurred during all Project activities within State waters.

3.3.1 Vessel Transit

The survey vessel transited to and from Marina del Rey, California, to the survey area each day. During vessel transit, there was the potential for encountering marine wildlife; therefore, a MWM was positioned at the highest safe vantage point for a clear view of the ocean within the vessel’s path. To minimize the chance of collision with, or disturbance of, marine wildlife, the MWM recommended that the vessel maintain a minimum distance of 91 m (299 ft) from marine wildlife. If marine wildlife was observed within the path of the transiting vessel, the monitor reported that observation to the vessel operator, who slowed the vessel and/or changed course in order to avoid contact.

3.3.2 Survey Monitoring

Prior to the start of data collection, survey operators utilized a “soft start” technique to allow any marine wildlife that may be in the survey area to leave before the sound source reached full energy level. MWM was prepared with the appropriate safety and monitoring equipment to conduct observations, including Nikon 7 x 50 low light reticulated binoculars for daytime and low light observations. Survey activities were conducted during daylight hours only.

MWM visually scanned the general survey area near the survey vessel for wildlife whenever survey equipment was operating. Per the OGPP requirements, no safety zone was

required during the side scan sonar sonar survey. When marine wildlife were observed, the MWM identified the species, counted the number of individual animals present, observed the animals’ behavior, and the animals’ direction/speed of movement. The MWM recorded any distress behaviors and implemented avoidance actions as discussed above, if necessary.

3.4 PINNIPED HAUL-OUTS

Survey activities did not occur within 300 m (984 ft) of any known pinniped haul-out and/or rookeries. The nearest pinniped haul-out is located (49 kilometers [km]) (30.4 miles [mi]) from the survey area.

3.5 MARINE PROTECTED AREAS

Survey activities did not occur within any Marine Protected Areas. The nearest Marine Protected Area is located 18.8 km (10.5 mi) from the survey area.

4.0 RESULTS

The following sections summarize the observations made by MWM and results of any avoidance actions requested during the Project.

4.1 SPECIES OBSERVED

Throughout the survey period, a total of 12 hours (hrs) of marine wildlife observations were completed. The vessel was in transit for a total of 1 hr and 30 minutes (mins), and no marine wildlife were observed during the transit period. No negative interaction occurred during vessel transit, and no avoidance actions were requested from the MWM

The survey operator used a “soft start” technique at the beginning of survey activities to allow any marine mammal that may be in the Project area to leave before the sound sources reach full energy. The survey equipment operated for a total of 10 hrs and 30 mins, four California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) were observed during survey activities. No distress or irregular behavior was observed, and avoidance actions were not required during survey activities.

4.2 FISHING GEAR

Prior to initiating data collection, a fishing gear clearance was completed within each survey corridor. No fishing gear was observed with the survey areas.

5.0 CONCLUSION

A total of 12 hrs of marine wildlife monitoring was completed during Project activities. There were no occasions where it was necessary for the MWM to request implementation of avoidance measures. In addition, Project activities were never delayed or altered due to encroachment by marine wildlife, and no negative effects to marine wildlife were observed. Based on the observations of the MWM, and the cooperative efforts of the Fugro team and vessel crew, no negative Project-related effects to the marine wildlife were observed during the survey period.
