Title: Marine Mammal Non-Lethal Deterrents | |
Abstract: The Marine Mammal Protection Act allows for persons to employ measures to deter marine mammals from damaging fishing gear and catch, damaging personal or public property, or endangering personal safety, as long as these measures do not result in death or serious injury of marine mammals. This action proposes national guidelines for safely deterring marine mammals under NOAA's jurisdiction (e.g., whales, dolphins, seals, and sea lions) and specific measures for marine mammals listed under the Endangered Species Act. It also proposes prohibitions on deterrents that would have a significant adverse effect on marine mammals. | |
