the effects of the activities for the initial
IHA, NMFS determined that the Port of
Bellingham’s activities would have a
negligible impact on the affected species
or stocks and that the authorized take
numbers of each species or stock were
small relative to the relevant stocks (e.g.,
less than one-third of the abundance of
all stocks). Although some marine
mammal abundances have changed
since the initial IHA, none of this new
information affects NMFS’
determinations supporting issuance of
the initial IHAs. The mitigation
measures and monitoring and reporting
requirements as described above are
nearly identical to the initial IHA.
NMFS has preliminarily concluded
that there is no new information
suggesting that our analysis or findings
should change from those reached for
the initial IHA. This includes
consideration of the estimated
abundance of Steller sea lions and
harbor seals decreasing slightly and
being defined respectively. Based on the
information and analysis contained here
and in the referenced documents, NMFS
has determined the following: (1) the
required mitigation measures will effect
the least practicable impact on marine
mammal species or stocks and their
habitat; (2) the authorized takes will
have a negligible impact on the affected
marine mammal species or stocks; (3)
the authorized takes represent small
numbers of marine mammals relative to
the affected stock abundances; (4) the
Port of Bellingham’s activities will not
have an unmitigable adverse impact on
taking for subsistence purposes as no
relevant subsistence uses of marine
mammals are implicated by this action,
and; (5) appropriate monitoring and
reporting requirements are included.

Endangered Species Act (ESA)
No incidental take of ESA-listed
species is authorized or expected to
result from this activity. Therefore,
NMFS has determined that formal
consultation under section 7 of the ESA
is not required for this action.
Proposed Renewal IHA and Request for
Public Comment
As a result of these preliminary
determinations, NMFS proposes to issue
a renewal IHA to the Port of Bellingham
for conducting Maintenance and
Rehabilitation of the Bellingham
Shipping Terminal project in
Bellingham, WA, from November 8,
2024 to November 8, 2025, provided the
previously described mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
are incorporated. A draft of the
proposed and final initial IHA can be
found at https://www.fisheries.
