Summary of Request
On August 3, 2022, we received an
application from NWFSC requesting
authorization for take of marine
mammals incidental to fisheries
research conducted by NWFSC. The
requested regulations would be valid for
5 years, from August 29, 2023, through
August 28, 2028. The NWFSC plans to
NWFSC plans to continue fisheries and
ecosystem research in three defined
research areas including the California
Current Research Area, the Puget Sound
Research Area, and the Lower Columbia
River Research Area, defined as the
estuarine and tidally influenced waters
of the lower Columbia River below the
Bonneville Dam. It is possible that
marine mammals may interact with
fishing gear (e.g., trawl nets, longlines)
used in NWFSC’s research, resulting in
injury, serious injury, or mortality.
Because the specified activities have the
potential to take marine mammals
present within these action areas,
NWFSC requests authorization to take
multiple species of marine mammal that
may occur in these areas.
The requested regulations would be
the second incidental take regulations
issued to NWFSC, following regulations
in place from 2018–2023. NWFSC has
complied with all requirements of the
previously issued Letters of
Authorization and has not exceeded the
authorized take numbers. Monitoring
reports submitted by NWFSC are
available online at: https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/action/
incidental-take-authorization-noaafisheries-nwfsc-fisheries-and-ecosystemresearch.
Specified Activities
The Federal Government has a
responsibility to conserve and protect
living marine resources in U.S. Federal
waters and has also entered into a
number of international agreements and
treaties related to the management of
living marine resources in international
waters outside the United States. NOAA
has the primary responsibility for
managing marine finfish and shellfish
species and their habitats, with that
responsibility delegated within NOAA
to NMFS.
In order to direct and coordinate the
collection of scientific information
needed to make informed management
decisions, Congress created six Regional
Fisheries Science Centers, each a
distinct organizational entity and the
scientific focal point within NMFS for
region-based Federal fisheries-related
research. This research is aimed at

monitoring fish stock recruitment,
abundance, survival and biological
rates, geographic distribution of species
and stocks, ecosystem process changes,
and marine ecological research. The
NWFSC is the research arm of NMFS in
the Northwest Region. The NWFSC
conducts research and provides
scientific advice to manage fisheries and
conserve protected species in three
aforementioned geographic research
areas. The NWFSC provides scientific
information to support the Pacific
Fishery Management Council and
numerous other domestic and
international fisheries management
organizations.
The NWFSC collects a wide array of
information necessary to evaluate the
status of exploited fishery resources and
the marine environment. NWFSC
scientists conduct fishery-independent
research onboard NOAA-owned and
operated vessels or on chartered vessels.
A few surveys are conducted onboard
commercial fishing vessels, but the
NWFSC designs and executes the
studies and funds vessel time. The gear
types used fall into several categories:
pelagic trawl gear used at various levels
in the water column, pelagic longlines
with multiple hooks, seine nets, and
other gear. Of research gear used by
NWFSC, only pelagic trawl, hook and
line gear (including longline gears), and
seine nets are likely to interact with
marine mammals.
Information Solicited
Interested persons may submit
information, suggestions, and comments
concerning the NWFSC’s request (see
ADDRESSES). NMFS will consider all
information, suggestions, and comments
related to the request during the
development of proposed regulations
governing the incidental taking of
marine mammals by the NWFSC, if
appropriate.

receive compensation or honoraria for
their services, and they are not
reimbursed for travel and per diem
expenses.

will strive to select members reflecting
wide ethnic, racial, gender, and age
