TITLE: Vessel Survey for DFO Cetacean and Sea Turtle survey off southwest coast of Vancouver Island, BC
TRADE AGREEMENTS:
N/A
DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT:
Annual cetacean and sea turtle surveys are conducted off the South West Coast of Vancouver Island to fill knowledge gaps in cetacean distribution, population size, and habitat use, as well as killer whale diet and foraging behaviour.
The estimated level of effort would require the Contractor for a maximum of approximately 450 hours (up to 60 days), but is ultimately dependent on budget and bidder’s cost. The work will involve custom day-charter surveys and research sampling off southwest Vancouver Island (north to Estevan Pt.), seeking observations and encounters with killer whales, leatherback sea turtles and other cetaceans to obtain photo identifications and prey samples, as well as acoustic recordings. The successful bidder will be responsible for both the vessel operations related to the survey effort and independently conducting the research services required.
DURATION OF CONTRACT
The contract period is from July 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019 inclusive with option to renew for two (2) additional one (1) year periods.
