• Description:
  "NMFS proposed to issue an amendment to Permit No. 808-1735 to authorize photo-identification, observation, and suction-cup tagging of Amoux's beaked whales during vessel surveys in the Antarctic to determine distribution and movement patterns for this species. These activities are not intrusive and do not involve any long-term adverse effects to individuals, populations, or the species. Any impacts from these research activities would be short-term and minimal to the individuals and hence, negligible to the species"--Cover letter.
