National Marine Fisheries Service to Prepare Environmental Impact Statement for Research on Steller Sea Lions and Northern Fur Seals

The National Marine Fisheries Service is planning to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement to assess the environmental effects of research grants and permits for endangered Steller sea lions and depleted northern fur seals in the United States. The statement aims to promote the recovery of Steller sea lion populations, allowing for the removal of Endangered Species Act protections.
