Practical guidance for monitoring underwater explosion tests with real-world results.

This report shows how simple, routine monitoring can help protect the environment and keep tests on track.

Designed for planners and field teams, it covers biological, chemical, and physical monitoring approaches. The material explains why monitoring matters, how to estimate staffing and costs, and how to adapt techniques to different test scales. The book also shares concrete findings from May 1976 experiments, highlighting what worked in practice and where limitations arose.

What to measure before and after a test to assess effects on marine life.
How to collect water samples, observe fish kill, and use trawls and nets effectively.
How to estimate time, manpower, and cost for ongoing monitoring programs.
Guidance on choosing procedures that balance accuracy with practicality for routine tests.

Ideal for readers involved in environmental planning, field operations, or regulatory compliance in underwater testing programs.
