Description:"The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue a scientific research permit for NMFS Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) [Bonnie Ponwith, Responsible Party], under Section lO(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR 222-226). The permit would be valid for five years from the date of issuance and would authorize research activities to be carried out by SEFSC personnel during resource assessment cruises in the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. ESA-listed sea turtles would be captured under another authority, measured, weighed, flipper and passive integrated transponder tagged, carapace marked, tissue sampled, photographed, and released. This research would create a better understanding of sea turtle ecology and contribute to estimates of survival, recruitment, emigration, and immigration in the pelagic environment of listed sea turtle populations in the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and their tributaries"--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.
