Description:

"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association's Office of Protected Resources (OPR) proposes to issue an Incidental Harassment Authorization, to Eglin Air Force Base (AFB), authorizing the take of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) incidental to Maritime WSEP operations within the Eglin Gulf Training and Testing Range (EGTTR). Eglin AFB has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) entitled "Maritime Weapon Systems Evaluation Program (WSEP) Operational Testing In The Eglin Gulf Testing And Training Range (EGTTR), Florida" dated December 2014, describing the environmental impacts of their proposed military training activities. The OPR has reviewed this EA and has determined that it is adequate for adoption. The adverse effects of the proposed action are not expected to be significant. The Eglin AFB EA adequately analyzes all environmental impacts of OPR's proposed action to issue an IHA. Among all other impacts analyzed in the EA, OPR looked in particular at the impacts to marine mammals Maritime WSEP operations, including injury and mortality risk from live fire explosions, direct hit risk from both inert and live fire, and acoustic disturbances"--Cover letter summary.
