Description:
"NMFS proposes to issue scientific research Permit No. 15330 to authorize research during vessel and aerial surveys of 40 species of cetacean and seven species of pinnipeds. Research activities would include photoidentification, acoustic recording, biological sample collection, and dart and suction cup tagging. The purpose of research is to determine the abundance, distribution, stock structure of cetaceans, movement patterns, habitat use, and diving behavior of cetaceans in U.S. territorial and international waters. Individual animals could experience short-lived harassment or injury in a minor number of cases. However, impacts from the research would be minimal to populations and species"--Cover letter.
