Title: Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Naval Training Operations at the East Coast Shallow Water Training Range | |
Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has received a request from the U.S. Navy for an authorization under the Marine Mammal Protection Act to take marine mammals, by harassment, incidental to naval vessels conducting shallow water anti-submarine training exercises in a specified area along the U.S. East Coast. As a result of this request, NMFS is proposing regulations that, if implemented, would govern the incidental taking of marine mammals by harassment and non-serious auditory impairment. In order to promulgate regulations and issue Letters of Authorization thereunder, NMFS must determine that these takings will have a negligible impact on the affected species and stocks of marine mammals. | |
