Description:"The Southern DPS was listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in April 2006. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) determined that protective regulations to govern the take of the Southern DPS were necessary for conservation of the species. In this environmental assessment (EA), NMFS evaluated five alternatives for these protective regulations. These included: a no-action alternative (i.e., no protective regulations); two alternatives that would prohibit all take of the Southern DPS, one with and one without exceptions and exemptions from the take prohibitions for some activities; and two alternatives that would prohibit take only in certain categories of activities, one with and one without exceptions and exemptions for some activities. The preferred alternative for this EA would prohibit all take of the Southern DPS with exceptions and exemptions from the take prohibitions for some activities"--Cover letter.
