Yes (gI=>Why do you believe that the impact oflhe action will be incidental 10 and not the purpose of the action?

The listed cetaceans in the described area will be encountered opportunistically. They will not be targeted and approached. The vessel will adhere to the National Whale Watching Guidelines 2005 and interaction will only occur if the animals chose 10 come near to the vessel. Once they are near the vessel filming will occur. The vessel will maintain a slow, fixed course, running parallel to the animals. There will be no group-follow for an extended period of time, encounter time will be minimal and therefore there will be insignificant impact.

16 Jllne 1006

10 Why do you believe that the proposed action will not adversely affect the conservation status of a species of cetacean or population of that species?

The interference caused to the whales will be minimal and the proposed actions of filming should in no way adversley affect their conservation status.

The period of engagemnent with the animals will be made over a short period of lime and it is highly unlikely that there will be any long term implactions from these encounters.

The applicant has extensive experience filming cetaceans over the last 25 years and will use the experience garnered over this period of lime to ensure the filming actions will not affect the animals encountered during filming .

11 Describe how the proposed action will be consistent with any recave/}' plans or wildlife conservation plans in force lor the species 01 cetaceans that may be affected by the action.

FILMING LOGISTICS

Queslion 4

A . The equipment and methods used to comply with the EPBe Act regulations

The premise of the filming activity is to cover the research undertaken by Curtin University and any cetacean activity in the Bremer Canyon area. The equipment used wil l be a surveyed passenger vessel adhering to the National Whale and Dolphin Watching Guidelines 2005, using on board video cameras and a quad copter operated by a professional wi ldlife camera team.

The applicant is intending to film some of the cetaceans listed with a small, unobtrusive quadcopter - the DJI Phantom 2. The quadcopter wi ll be launched from the vessel from over 200 metres away - allowing the vessel to stay in the caution zone of the animal. The quad copter will operate at a minimum height distance of no less than 10m and for an operation period of no more than 10 minutes maximum time. If there is any percieved disturbance 10 the animals Ihe flight will be stopped and the quadcopter retrieved.

The applicant has successfully used quadcopters recently filming Humpback whale behaviour in association with Curt and Micheline Jenner in Western Australia under permit from the Western Australian Department Of Parks and Wildlife. The applicant has also been actively working with Doug Coughran in field assessments of the device and Doug Coughran can be contacted for further discussion if required;

Douglas Coughran AM Senior Wildlife Officer, Marine Wildlife Operations Departmenl of Parks and Wi ldlife Nature Protection Branch, Western Austra lia Direct: Fax: Mobile"

Douglas.Coughran@DPaW.wa.gov.au

B. What steps will be taken to minimise impacts on cetaceans?

The filming will involve observing and photographing the research being undertaken by the Centre For Marine Science & Technology Curtin University and cetacean behaviour from species as listed; Killer whale, Sperm whales, False killer whales, Long-finned pilot whales, Short-finned pi lot whales. Cuvier's beaked whales and Gray's beaked whale. There wi ll be no physical interference with, feed ing of or swimming with the cetaceans as described in the EPBC Act.

In order to minimise potential impact on the whales when a cetacean group is Sighted they will be approached within the caution zone of 300m and no closer than 100m. The no approach zone is 300m directly in front and to the rear of the animal/s.

Supplementary Form Whales and Dolphins

FIGURE 1.1 MAP OF PROPOSED FILMING/RESEARCH ACTIVITY IN BREMER BAY CANYON AREA

When entering and within the caution zone the vessels will not drift into the no approach zone. The vessel will move at a slow speed and avoid making sudden or repeated changes in direction. The vessel will not approach females and calves and/or groups consisting of females and calves.

It is envisaged that the animals will have to approach the vessel of their own accord to be filmed by boat~based cameras. If the animals show any signs of disturbance contact will be broken off. When leaving the animals the vessel will move off at a slow no wake speed gradually increasing speed when reaching the limit of the caution zone from the closest animal.

c. The objectives and purposes of the action?

The objectives and the purposes of the action is to film the research being undertaken in the Bremer Canyon area by the Centre For Marine Science & Technotogy Curtin University and any behaviour of cetacean species activity as listed - Killer whale, Sperm whales, False kilter whales, Long-finned pilot whales, Short-finned pilot whales, Cuvier's beaked whales and Gray's beaked whale for a wildlife documentary on marine activity in the area for Discovery Channel US, International and Australia,

Q4. Proposed action:

Background

The Centre for Marine Science & Technology (CMST) at Curtin University, in Perth, Western Australia, has recorded the underwater soundscape around Australia for nearly 20 years. CMST builds its own autonomous acoustic recorders. These have been involved in many hundreds of deployments over the years. Many Terabites of data has been collected. CMST also designed and maintains the passive underwater acoustic observatories of Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System. All of the IMOS data and some of the other passive acoustic data is publicly available.

Passive acoustic data are rich in underwater sounds of biological sources, i.e., marine mammals, fish, crustaceans etc. Given that this data is collected autonomously, it is mostly unknown what animal made which sound.

Passive acoustic recorders are becoming more widely available and "off-the-shelf', hence many people from industry, government and research groups are busy deploying them. When the data is to be analysed, the largest unknown is typically "What madc that sound?" CMST receives phone calls quite regularly from people who have deployed underwater acoustic recorders, playing sounds to us over the phone, asking us what animal that was. In most cases, we simply don't know.

CMST has many students working on marine spec ies using passive acoustic tools. Pass ive acoustics is a non-invasive way of studying vocalising animals, their ecology, habitat usage, migration, population density, and anthropogenic impacts (Erbe, 2013). For these projects to be successful , it is crucial to understand the call repertoires of the

8

. . various specIes.

CMST has been working on a catalogue of biological underwater sounds of Australi a. The catalogue will eventually be made publicly avai lable, including sample .wav files and sound spectrograms. There are still a lot of unknown sounds and many species of which we don't have a reasonable characterisation of their acoustic repertoire.

Throughout the year, CMST has opportunities to undertake fieldwork to fill this catalogue, c.g ., when the IMOS recorders are deployed and recovered, or in connecti on with other fie ld work. We would like to spend a few extra days on these occasions to undertake visual observations and simultaneous acoustic recordings with a handheld hydrophone, in order to add to our cata logue. Being out in the field, doing simultaneous visual and pass ive acoustic observations is the on ly way to properly identify the sounds of marinc life.

This permit applicat ion is to cover these opportunistic field trips at multiple sites around Australi a for the coming 5 years.

Objectives and purposes

•

•

To establi sh an underwater acoustic cataloguc of the sounds of Australian marine life, which wi ll be made pub li cly ava ilable

To study the acoustic ecology of Australian marine life, including the impacts of underwater noise

The cata lQguc wi ll be useful for ecological studies and environmental impact studies using passive acoustic tools.

Proposed actions / steps to minimise impact / methods

This permit appli cation is to let CMST staff and students undcrtake passive acoustic recordings and visual observations of marine mammals in Commonwealth waters of Australi a. Researchers will operate from a vessel and approach marine mammals while taking photo-ID images and deploying a hand-held, over-the-side-of-the-boat hydrophone to record the sounds of the animals sighted within the vicinity of the vessel. Animals will not be chased, but rather, we want the acoustic repertoire under their nomml behavioural states. An imals will be approached to within a safe distance where the presence of the boat does not change the behaviour as determined by the visual observcrs.

Q5. Related research

Wc are hoping to collect the visual and passive acousti c data in order to estab lish a database of call repertoires. Wc don't have any specific funding for this, but are hoping to use the permit to coll ect data opportunistically, e.g., whcn IMOS gear gets dep loyed or recovered, or when we have opportunities to join a vessel whose main purpose in an unrelated project. We are applying for funds to uti lise commercial and permitted whale-watching tours as a platform for our research .
