ASWH requests a five-year permit to conduct scientific research focusing primarily on North Atlantic right whales, with a secondary focus on humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae) and fin (Balaenoptera physalus) whales. The purposes of the right whale research include: (1) to improve knowledge of right whale habitat utilization; (2) to monitor the population in a portion of the southeast U.S. right whale critical habitat; (3) to contribute to the right whale photoidentification catalog; (4) to characterize the shallow water acoustic environment and right whale vocalizations; and (5) to examine sightability from different types of platforms. The feeding behavior of right, fin, and humpback whales would also be studied using aerial platforms. The main study areas are the waters off northeast Florida in December through April and the waters off Cape Cod, MA in the summer months. Research could occur year round in Atlantic waters from Maine to Florida. The majority of the research would involve aerial surveys conducted from a variety of platforms, including airplanes, blimps, and aerostats. A maximum of 50 fin and 50 humpback whales could be harassed annually during aerial surveys. Seventy-five right whales may be harassed annually during aerial surveys. Twenty other cetacean species, including endangered sperm (Physeter macrocephalus), sei (Balaenoptera acutorostrata), and blue (Balaenoptera musculus) whales, may be incidentally harassed during aerial surveys. Two pinniped species and four species of sea turtles (loggerhead (Caretta caretta), leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), Kemp’s ridley (Lepidochelys kempii), green (Chelonia mydas)) may also be incidentally harassed as a result of aerial surveys. Vessel surveys would also be conducted in U.S. southeast waters. Close approaches to right whales would be made to collect photo-identification, behavioral and passive acoustic data. ASWH proposes to use both motorized (10 right whales harassed annually) and non-motorized (i.e., kayaks) (5 right VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:08 Dec 09, 2008 Jkt 217001 whales harassed annually) vessels in their research.
