Endangered Species Act
Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.) requires that each Federal agency
insure that any action it authorizes,
funds, or carries out is not likely to
jeopardize the continued existence of
any endangered or threatened species or
result in the destruction or adverse
modification of designated critical
habitat. To ensure ESA compliance for
the issuance of IHAs, NMFS consults
internally, in this case with the NMFS
Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries
Office (GARFO), whenever we propose
to authorize take for endangered or
threatened species.
The NMFS Office of Protected
Resources is authorizing the incidental
take of four species of marine mammals
which are listed under the ESA: Fin, sei,
sperm, and North Atlantic right whales.
We requested initiation of consultation
under section 7 of the ESA with NMFS
GARFO on March 5, 2021, for the
issuance of this IHA. On April 2, 2021,
NMFS GARFO concurred with our
determination that our issuance of the
IHA to Skipjack is not likely to
adversely affect the North Atlantic right,
fin, sei, and sperm whale or the critical
habitat of any ESA-listed species or
result in the take of any marine
mammals in violation of the ESA.
Authorization

NMFS has issued an IHA to Skipjack
for the potential harassment of small
numbers of 16 marine mammal species
incidental to the conducting marine site
characterization surveys offshore of
Delaware in the area of the Commercial
Lease of Submerged Lands for
Renewable Energy Development on the
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS–A 0519)
and along potential submarine cable
routes to a landfall location in Delaware
provided the previously mentioned
mitigation, monitoring and reporting
requirements are followed.
