Description:"The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue Scientific Research Permit No. 16306 pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The permit would exempt the permit holder from takes of shortnose sturgeon under the ESA, by capture, harassment, wounding, and harm. The purpose of the research for Permit No. 16306 is to characterize migration patterns and habitat preferences, generate population estimates, examine age structure and feeding habits, and otherwise gather key life history information for shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) in the Gulf of Maine and its adjoining coastal rivers. The permit would be valid for five years from the date of issuance"--Abstract from Environmental Assessment; 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.
