Advisers on Marine Mammals. The
Committee is to consist of scientists
knowledgeable in marine ecology and
marine mammal affairs. Members are
appointed by the Chair of the
Commission after consultation with the
Chairman of the Council on
Environmental Quality, the Secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution, the Director
of the National Science Foundation, and
the Chairman of the National Academy
of Sciences. The Commission is
required to consult with the Committee
on all studies and recommendations
that it may propose to make or has
made, on research programs conducted
or proposed to be conducted under the
authority of the Act, and on all
applications for permits for scientific
research.

the biology and ecology of certain
marine mammal species that, due to
their small population levels and/or
threats they face, require special
attention. In addition, Committee
members are selected to provide broad

responsibilities are especially great. A
