as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) and
the regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216).
Permit No. 16553 authorizes Dr.

on the comparative ecology,
demography, community ecology,
foraging patterns, pathology and
phenology of pinniped species in
California and to further characterize
the resources and habitats used by each
species. California sea lions, northern
elephant seals, and harbor seals may be
captured and sampled at several sites:
San Nicolas Island, San Miguel Island,
Santa Rosa Island, Santa Cruz Island,
Piedras Blancas, Cape San Martin, and
Gorda. Some animals will only receive
a flipper tag or a dye mark. Other
animals may be physically or
chemically restrained; measured and
weighed; have a variety of samples
taken, including: Blood, skin, blubber,
and mucus membrane swabs; and have
tracking or data recording instruments
attached. The permit also authorizes up
to four unintentional research-related
mortalities of each species annually.
The permit is valid through October 31,
2016.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), a final
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
