Summary

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is seeking public input on a proposal to allow the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to conduct a marine geophysical survey in the central Gulf of Alaska in June 2011, which may incidentally harm nine species of marine mammals, as required by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA).
