The applicant requests a permit to conduct passive acoustics, videography, photo-identification surveys, biopsy sampling, and collect sloughed skin and/or feces to study humpback whales, killer whales and minke whale. Research would occur around southeastern Alaska especially in Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve. Up to 6300 humpback whales, 500 killer whales, and 20 minke whales could be harassed each year during photoidentification surveys. Additionally, humpback whales and the three killer whale ecotypes could be harassed up to 50 times each, to acquire 30 successful biopsy samples, per year. See the application for specific take numbers by species/stock. The purposes of the proposed research are to: (1) Study the ecology, behavior and population status of all demographic groups in humpback, killer and minke whales, (2) continue one of the longest and most complete time-series data set on humpback whale populations, and (3) document longterm trends in the abundance, spatial and temporal distribution, reproductive parameters and feeding behaviors of humpback, killer, and minke whales, which would enhance informationbased resource management of these species in the waters of southeastern Alaska, primarily in and around Glacier Bay National Park and Reserve. The permit would be valid for a period of five years. A draft environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), to examine whether significant environmental impacts could result from issuance of the proposed scientific research permit.
