Taking and Importing of Marine Mammals

NMFS issues this final rule to codify Federal District Court orders prohibiting the deployment of any purse-seine net on or the encirclement with any purse seine net of any school of dolphins within a defined area of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP) when any offshore spotted dolphin (Stenella attenuata) is observed prior to the release of the net skiff. This prohibition will result in reduced mortality of offshore spotted dolphins as a result of purse seine fishing in the ETP. This rule also makes a technical correction to scientific names inadvertently transposed in a previous rule.
