You spot a group of seals hauled out on rocks near your intended course. What is the recommended practice regarding your approach?

A. Approach as closely as possible for the best view, since seals are not easily disturbed

B. There is no recommended distance; wildlife disturbance is not a real consideration for small craft

C. Sound your horn to encourage the seals to move for a better photograph

D. Keep a reasonable distance and avoid approaching directly, sudden noise, or a fast/close pass — a startled group can stampede off the rocks, which particularly risks injury to pups and burns energy reserves the animals need

A. Nothing — a test lift can proceed immediately after repairs

B. The area within the grab's swing radius should be cleared of personnel before the lift

C. Testing should wait until cargo operations begin

D. Only the crane operator needs to be aware the lift is happening

A. Only the weather forecast for the next watch

B. The lunch schedule for the deck team

C. Who must remain clear of the exclusion zone while the lift takes place

D. The cargo manifest for the next port
