Abstract
A program based on active monitoring and education helped Western Geophysical late last year complete a large speculative 3-D seismic survey in a sensitive Louisiana transition zone without creating the need for environmental remediation. Environmental authorities praised the program for, among other things, enabling Western Geophysical to discover a rookery of the endangered mottled duck and avoid disturbing it. The company has decided to use the program in all transition‐zone surveys in the southeastern United States.
