Description:
On April, 20, 2010 the NMFS Office of Protected Resources Permits and Conservation Division submitted a draft Environmental Assessment to the NMFS' Office of Protected Resouces ESA Interagency Cooperation Division for the propsed issuance of permit number (No.) 14122: Biology of Large Whales in Alaskan Waters to Jan Straley and seven additional permits to other scientific researchers. The Permits and Conservation Division subsequently consulted with us on the issuance of the proposed research permit and on July 14, 2010, we issued our biological opinion concluding that the issuance of these permits was not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of currently ESA-listed species, nor adversely modify designated critical habitat. Permit No. 14122 was a five year permit, which was later given a one year extension, and ends on July 31, 2016. The issuance of permit No.18529 by the Permits and Conservation Division would be a renewal of Jan Straley's existing permit activities with several modifications to the proposed research activities--Background.
