Additionally, the contractor must develop crew encounter pamphlets to ensure operational awareness. The role requires deep expertise in the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the California Fish and Game Code. Key deliverables include the submission of detailed wildlife monitoring reports and formal compliance certifications. This project falls under NAICS code 541620 and is managed by the California State Lands Commission.
