SUMMARY: NMFS notifies the public of
the aboriginal subsistence whaling
quota for bowhead whales that it has
assigned to the Alaska Eskimo Whaling
Commission (AEWC), and of limitations
on the use of the quota deriving from
regulations of the International Whaling
Commission (IWC). For 2013, the quota
is 75 bowhead whales struck. This quota
and other applicable limitations govern
the harvest of bowhead whales by
members of the AEWC.
DATES: Effective February 26, 2013.

Affairs, National Marine Fisheries
Service, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Aboriginal
subsistence whaling in the United States
is governed by the Whaling Convention
Act (WCA) (16 U.S.C. 916 et seq.).
Regulations that implement the Act,
found at 50 CFR 230.6, require the
Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to
publish, at least annually, aboriginal
subsistence whaling quotas and any
other limitations on aboriginal
subsistence whaling deriving from
regulations of the IWC.

At the 64th Annual Meeting of the
IWC, the Commission set catch limits
for aboriginal subsistence use of
bowhead whales from the BeringChukchi-Beaufort Seas stock. The
bowhead catch limits were based on a
joint request by the United States and
the Russian Federation, accompanied by
documentation concerning the needs of
two Native groups: Alaska Eskimos and
Chukotka Natives in the Russian Far
East.
The IWC set a 6-year block catch limit
of 336 bowhead whales landed. For
each of the years 2013 through 2018, the
number of bowhead whales struck may
not exceed 67, except that any unused
portion of a strike quota from any prior
year, including 15 unused strikes from
the 2008 through 2012 quota, may be
carried forward. No more than 15 strikes
may be added to the strike quota for any
one year. At the end of the 2012 harvest,
there were 15 unused strikes available
for carry-forward, so the combined
strike quota set by the IWC for 2013 is
82 (67 + 15).
An arrangement between the United
States and the Russian Federation
ensures that the total quota of bowhead
whales landed and struck in 2013 will
not exceed the limits set by the IWC.
Under this arrangement, the Russian
natives may use no more than seven
strikes, and the Alaska Eskimos may use
no more than 75 strikes.
Through its cooperative agreement
with the AEWC, NOAA has assigned 75
strikes to the Alaska Eskimos. The
AEWC will in turn allocate these strikes
among the 11 villages whose cultural
and subsistence needs have been
documented, and will ensure that its
hunters use no more than 75 strikes.
Other Limitations
The IWC regulations, as well as the
NOAA regulation at 50 CFR 230.4(c),
forbid the taking of calves or any whale
accompanied by a calf.
NOAA regulations (at 50 CFR 230.4)
contain a number of other prohibitions
relating to aboriginal subsistence
whaling, some of which are summarized
here:
• Only licensed whaling captains or
crew under the control of those captains
may engage in whaling.
• Captains and crew must follow the
provisions of the relevant cooperative
agreement between NOAA and a Native
American whaling organization.
• The aboriginal hunters must have
adequate crew, supplies, and equipment
to engage in an efficient operation.
• Crew may not receive money for
participating in the hunt.
• No person may sell or offer for sale
whale products from whales taken in
PO 00000

the hunt, except for authentic articles of
Native American handicrafts.
• Captains may not continue to whale
after the relevant quota is taken, after
the season has been closed, or if their
licenses have been suspended. They
may not engage in whaling in a wasteful
manner.
