adverse environmental impacts. The
three action alternatives also include
mitigation measures intended to
minimize potentially adverse
interactions with other protected
species that occur within the action
area. Protected species include all
marine mammals, which are covered
under the MMPA, all species listed
under the ESA, and bird species
protected under the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act.
NMFS is also evaluating a second
type of no-action alternative that
considers no federal funding for
fieldwork on fisheries and ecosystem
research activities. This is called the No
Research Alternative to distinguish it
from the No-Action/Status Quo
Alternative. The No-Action/Status Quo
Alternative will be used as the baseline
to compare all of the other alternatives.
Potential direct and indirect effects on
the environment are evaluated under
each alternative in the DPEA. The
environmental effects on the following
resources are considered: Physical
environment, special resource areas,
fish, marine mammals, birds, sea turtles,
invertebrates, and the social and
economic environment. Cumulative
effects of external actions and the
contribution of fisheries research
activities to the overall cumulative
impact on the aforementioned resources
is also evaluated in the DPEA for the
geographic regions in which NEFSC
surveys are conducted.
NMFS requests comments on the
DPEA for Fisheries Research Conducted
and Funded by the National Marine
Fisheries Service, Northeast Fisheries
Science Center. Please include, with
your comments, any supporting data or
literature citations that may be
informative in substantiating your
comment.
