Book excerpt: "The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) to SAExploration, Inc., (SAE) for the taking, by Level B harassment, of small numbers of marine mammals incidental to open-water 3D ocean bottom cable seismic surveys in the Beaufort Sea. SAE's open-water seismic surveys are expected to occur within the time frame of July through October 2013. SAE requested a broad time range because the timing of the planned activities is dependent on ice, weather, and subsistence activities. NMFS proposes to issue an IHA with mitigation measures, as described in Alternative 2 of the Environmental Assessment. NMFS' Office of Protected Resources (OPR) has determined that the take of marine mammals incidental to SAE's seismic surveys would have negligible effects on the species and stocks of marine mammals in the action area"--Summary from cover letter.

Book excerpt: "The National Marine Fisheries Service proposes to issue an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) to Shell Offshore Inc. for the taking, by Level B harassment, of small numbers of marine mammals, incidental to conducting an exploratory drilling program in Camden Bay in the Beaufort Sea, Alaska, during the 2012 open-water season. NMFS has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) titled 'Issuance of Incidental Harassment Authorizations for the Take of Marine Mammals by Harassment Incidental to Conducting Exploratory Drilling Programs in the U.S. Beaufort and Chukchi Seas,' and prepared an independent Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). NMFS has determined that the impact of conducting the exploratory drilling program in the U.S. Beaufort Sea may result, at worst, in a temporary modification in behavior of small numbers of eight species of marine mammals. Based on its review of the record, including the EA and FONSI, NMFS has determined that issuance of the IHA will not result in any significant direct, indirect, or cumulative impact to any element of the human environment. NMFS does not anticipate that take by injury (Level A harassment), serious injury, or death will occur; nor has NMFS authorized take by Level A harassment. NMFS has further determined that this activity will result in a negligible impact on the affected species or stocks and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of affected species or stocks for taking for subsistence uses"--Summary on cover letter.

National Marine Fisheries Service. Office of Protected Resources and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "NMFS has received an application from Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), a part of the University of California San Diego (UCSD), for an Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) to take marine mammals, by Level B harassment, incidental to conducting a marine geophysical (seismic) survey in the south-eastern Pacific Ocean in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Chile, May, 2012. SIO's seismic survey activities, which have the potential to cause marine mammals to be behaviorally disturbed, warrant an incidental take authorization from NMFS under section 101(a)(5)(D) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1631 et seq.). The proposed action considered in this Environmental Assessment (EA) is the issuance of an IHA, by NMFS, for the incidental taking, by Level B harassment only, of small numbers of marine mammals, incidental to the conduct of SIO's seismic survey in May, 2012 (which includes a six-week buffer for operational delays), pursuant to section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA. This EA, titled Issuance of an Incidental Harassment Authorization to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography to Take Marine Mammals by Harassment Incidental to a Low-Energy Marine Geophysical Survey in the South-Eastern Pacific Ocean May, 2012 (hereinafter, EA), addresses the impacts on the human environment that would result from issuance of this IHA for MMPA Level B takes of marine mammals during the SIO survey under the required monitoring and mitigation measures that would be specified in the authorization"--1.1 Description of Proposed Action.
