Description:The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue an amendment to Scientific Research Permit No. 14610-02, 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 current permit authorizes takes of beluga, gray, humpback and bowhead whales by harassment for studies of foraging ecology, habitat requirements. The amended permit would authorize additional gray whales takes by photo-identification research activities as well as allow implantable tag modifications to accommodate acoustic tagging of bowhead whales. The amended permit would be valid through the expiration date of the original permit (May 31, 2015).
