...scientists onboard the Langseth and other seismic vessels say they do take the impact on animals into account. American vessels are required by U.S. law to submit their itineraries to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which in turn determines how long and where the vessels can operate. Several individuals and organizations raised concerns about the proposed study, including potential interruptions to breeding times and migration routes. NMFS then revised the authorized track lines in light of the comments. "We typically start six to 12 months before a cruise with discussions with [L-DEO] about our cruise plan...

(The generator is a small gas-powered engine that keeps the batteries charged while the car is being driven, hence the "extended range...
...roads and the incredible remoteness of thousands of tiny hamlets and villages throughout the island mean flying is usually the only option to get around. Moala's flight was ferrying a group of 12 passengers to the tiny village of Kokoda, 50 miles northeast of the capital Port Moresby. Onboard flight CG4684 was co-pilot Royden Soauka, and a tour group of nine Australians and their local guide Steven Jaruba, a local businessman. By early on August 14, three days after the crash, authorities reported a 14th person may have been on the plane, a local mine worker...
