System for identification of marine mammalian species present at an offshore construction site

A system for supporting timely, informed decision making with respect to commencing and terminating offshore construction operations within a predetermined zone using a situational awareness tool not compromised by weather, poor-visibility, or a simple protected species observer (PSO) conundrum of not being able to see all things at all times, and for identification of marine mammalian species present at an offshore construction site that is sensor and platform agnostic comprises a plurality of sensors, a predetermined subset of the plurality of sensors operational without requiring daylight, the sensors operative to deliver data from which targets are determined and from which their position information can be derived; a data communicator operative to allow provide real-time data to a data viewer; a data processor operatively in communication with the plurality of sensors and the data communicator; and a display operatively in communication with the data communicator and operative to display a representation of real-time data, the display comprising a visual interface operatively connected to the data processor and comprising a human machine interface centralized display.
