behavioral observation, suction-cup
tagging, tracking, and incidental
harassment. In the North Atlantic,
researchers may closely approach up to
324 of each species of humpback, fin,
and sei whales annually during vessel
surveys for photo-identification,
behavioral observation, tracking, and
incidental harassment. Of these animals,
up to 108 of each species may be
suction-cup tagged annually during
surveys.
The permit holder requests an
amendment to the permit to authorize
the close vessel approach of up to 90
animals of each of the following species
annually for suction-cup tagging: North
Atlantic right (Eubalaena glacialis),
North Pacific right (E. japonica), blue,
and Eastern gray whales (Eschrichtius
robustus) and up to 180 bowhead
whales (Balaena mysticetus) in North
Pacific, Arctic and/or North Atlantic
waters. Dr. Baumgartner also requests to
closely approach up to 45 animals each
of the following species annually for
satellite tagging using dermal
attachments: North Pacific right, and
Eastern gray whales and North Atlantic
right, blue, humpback, fin, and sei
whales and up to 180 bowhead whales
in North Atlantic, North Pacific and/or
Arctic waters. Dr. Baumgartner could
incidentally harass up to 800 animals of
each species during close vessel
approaches annually. This research will
provide a better understanding of large
whale distribution and foraging ecology
by gathering data on predator-prey
relationships, diving behavior, day vs.
night behavior, and acoustic behavior.
The amendment would be valid until
the permit expires on May 31, 2012.
