Protection Act of 1972, as amended

The applicant proposes to receive,
import, and export samples from up to
150 Sowerby’s beaked whale
(Mesoplodon bidens) and 130 samples
from 13 other species of non-ESA listed
cetaceans. The objectives of this
research are to: (a) Investigate life
history characteristics of these species
using stable isotope analysis; and (b)
improve techniques of stable isotope
analysis in marine mammal studies.
Samples would include bone, teeth,
baleen, and muscle tissue from museum
and research collections. No takes of
live animals would be authorized under
this permit. The permit would be valid
for up to five years after issuance.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial
determination has been made that the
