Description:

"The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) requires NMFS to estimate annual levels of human-caused mortality and serious injury to marine mammal stocks (section 117), and to categorize commercial fisheries based on their level of incidental mortality and serious injury of marine mammals (section 118). Serious injury (SI) determinations were addressed at NMFS convened workshops in 1997 and 2007 (Angliss and DeMaster 1998; Andersen et al. 2008) , and in January 2012, the agency published new national guidelines for distinguishing serious from non-serious injuries of marine mammals 1. A major goal of the new guidelines is to establish national consistency and transparency in SI determinations. As part of implementing the new guidelines, Science Center SI experts from each region reviewed all documented marine mammal injury events during the 5-year period of 2007-2011. Reports and images of injuries and the animals' condition were compared to injury categories described in the new guidelines' procedure manual, and each event was assigned an injury determination. The resulting SI values were combined with anthropogenic mortality values for comparison to each stock's Potential Biological Removal (PBR) in annual marine mammal stock assessment reports (SARs). This report summarizes the SI determinations for baleen whale stocks along the Gulf of Mexico, United States east coast and Atlantic Canadian Provinces for 2007 through 2011"--Introduction.
