Description:"NMFS proposed to issue two scientific research permits, Nos. 14233 and 14603 to authorize photo-identification, observation, and biopsy sampling of North Atlantic right whales during vessel surveys along the U. S. East coast. The purpose of Permit No. 14233 is to assess population abundance, trends, and human and natural impacts to the species. The purpose of Permit No. 14603 is to document right whale habitat use, food resources, and movement and dive patterns for this species and monitor the species for entanglements and potential vessel interactions. These activities are minimally to non-invasive. Any impacts from these research would be short-term and minimal to the individuals and hence, negligible to the species"--Cover letter; Portfolio comprised of three related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.
