Description:"The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue a scientific research permit for takes of marine mammals in the wild, pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) and the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The permit would be valid for five years from the date of issuance and would authorize harassment of ESA-listed humpback, fin, and sei whales, and nonlisted Eastern gray, minke, and short-and long-finned pilot whales. Multiple research objectives would be addressed using data from scientific instruments (tags) attached to whales, including: (1) long-term movement and habitat use studies using satcllite/GPS/depth tags, (2) medium-term acoustic studies using an audio recording package to examine transmitted and received sound, and (3) extended fine-scale behavioral ecology studies using multi-sensor data recording packages. Research activities that may result in taking include tagging, photo-identification, behavioral observations, tracking and monitoring, passive acoustics, photography and video both above and under water, and collection of sloughed skin"--Abstract.
