Title: ●Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to the Port Everglades Harbor Deepening and Widening Project, Florida | |
Abstract:
Based on NMFS’s receipt of an application from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for incidental take regulations and a Letter of Authorization (LOA) under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, this action proposes regulations to govern the unintentional taking of marine mammals incidental to deepening and widening of the Port Everglades Harbor and entrance channel in Broward County, Florida. Construction activities are confined to underwater blasting. The proposed regulations will set forth the permissible methods of taking, means of effecting the least practicable adverse impact on the affected species or stocks and their habitats (i.e., mitigation), and if applicable, on their availability for taking for subsistence uses; and requirements pertaining to the monitoring and reporting of such taking. LOAs issued under the regulations would authorize the take of marine mammals incidental to the specified activities for a five-year period. |
