The applicant proposes to study
bottlenose dolphins in the inland
waters, nearshore coastal waterways,
and offshore waters of Southern Georgia
and Florida’s east coast. Up to 15,000
dolphins may be harassed annually
during vessel surveys, unmanned
aircraft flights, photo-identification,
photogrammetry, and behavioral
observations. Annually, 120 dolphins
may be breath sampled using a pole and
156 dolphins may be biopsy sampled.
The objectives of the research are to: (1)
Understand stock structure and
behavior, (2) estimate population
trajectory, (3) evaluate health and
nutrition, (4) increase knowledge of the
role of an apex predator in ecological
function and (5) identify and mitigate
direct human threats. The permit would
be valid for five years.
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
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.
Concurrent with the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
NMFS is forwarding copies of the
application to the Marine Mammal
Commission and its Committee of
Scientific Advisors.
