10. Reporting an Injured or Dead Marine
Mammal Not Related to the Society’s
Activities
In the event that the Society discovers
an injured or dead marine mammal, and
the lead visual observer determines that
the injury or death is not associated
with or related to the authorized
activities (e.g., previously wounded
animal, carcass with moderate to
advanced decomposition, or scavenger
damage), the Society will report the
incident to the Chief, Permits and
Conservation Division, Office of
Protected Resources, at 301–427–8401
and the Assistant Western Regional
Stranding Coordinator at (562) 980–
3264, within 24 hours of the discovery.
The Society’s staff will provide
photographs or video footage (if
available) or other documentation of the
stranded animal sighting to us.
11. This Authorization may be
modified, suspended or withdrawn if
the holder fails to abide by the
conditions prescribed herein, or if the
authorized taking is having a more than
a negligible impact on the species or
stock of affected marine mammals.
Request for Public Comments
NMFS requests comments on our
analysis, the draft authorization, and
any other aspect of this notice of
proposed Authorization for the
proposed activities. Please include any
