Title: Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Naval Explosives Ordnance Testing and Training Exercises in the Northern Gulf of Mexico | |
Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has received a request from the U.S. Air Force, Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) for an authorization under the Marine Mammal Protection Act to take marine mammals, by harassment, incidental to conducting naval explosives ordnance disposal school exercises within the waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico adjacent to Eglin AFB. As a result of this request, NMFS will propose regulations, that if implemented, would govern the incidental taking of marine mammals by Eglin AFB for this activity. In order to promulgate regulations and issue a Letter of Authorization (LOA) thereunder, NMFS must determine that the takings will have a negligible impact on the affected species and stocks of marine mammals. | |
