a baseline environmental assessment of
the proposed site prior to permit review
by NMFS. If a permit is authorized,
permittees would have to conduct
routine monitoring of a site based on
NMFS protocols and procedures
developed in coordination with other
federal agencies. Aquaculture
operations would also be required to
report to NMFS within 24 hours of the
discovery of: major escapement;
entanglements or interactions with
marine mammals, endangered species
and migratory birds; and findings or
suspected findings of pathogens.
Comment 8: Has NMFS considered
harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the nonfishing impacts section?
Response: While HABs are a concern
for a number of species, in general they
are less likely to affect habitat for HMS
because HABs tend to occur closer to
shore in areas where HMS are less likely
to occur. In addition, given their highly
mobile nature, HMS are more likely to
avoid prolonged contact with HABs in
affected areas. However, NMFS
considers this an important issue and
has included additional information on
HABs in the non-fishing impact section
of the FEIS.
