Taking of Whales and Seals in Conjunction with a Proposed Marine Survey Program
ASRC Energy Services (AES) proposes to conduct a marine survey program during the 2008 open-water season on various Minerals Management Service (MMS) Outer Continental Shelf lease blocks in the Chukchi Sea of Alaska. AES submits this revised request for an IHA from the National Marine Fisheries Serv...
