Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Endangered and Threatened Species - Identification of 14 Distinct Population Segments of Humpback Whale, Megaptera novaeangliae (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 We, NMFS, issue a final determination to revise the listing status of the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We divide the globally listed endangered species into 14 distinct population segments (DPS), remove the current species-level listing, and in its place list four DPSs as endangered and one DPS as threatened. Based on their current statuses, the remaining nine DPSs do not warrant listing. At this time, we find that critical habitat is not determinable for the three listed DPSs that occur in U.S. waters (Western North Pacific, Mexico, Central America); we will consider designating critical habitat for these three DPSs in a separate rulemaking.

Book Synopsis The Arabian Seas: Biodiversity, Environmental Challenges and Conservation Measures by : Laith A. Jawad
Download or read book The Arabian Seas: Biodiversity, Environmental Challenges and Conservation Measures written by Laith A. Jawad and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 1377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arabian Seas Marine Region encompasses marine areas from Djibouti to Pakistan, including the northern part of Somalia, the Red Sea, the Arabian/Persian Gulf, and parts of the Arabian Sea. Human pressures on the coastal and marine environments are evident throughout the region, and have resulted in harmful environmental effects. Oil and domestic, urban and industrial pollutants in several areas of this part of the world have caused local habitat degradation, eutrophication and algal blooms. Further, coastal landfill, dredging, and sedimentation, as well as nutrient and sediment runoff from phosphate mining, agriculture and grazing, and reduction in freshwater seepage due to groundwater extraction are all contributing to the degradation of coastal environments. This book discusses aspects not covered in other books on the region, which largely focus on marine biodiversity, and examines several environmental challenges that are often ignored, but which have a significant impact on the environment. Evaluating the status quo, it also recommends conservation measures and examines the abiotic factors that play a major main role in the environmental changes. Lastly, the book addresses the biodiversity of the area, providing a general context for the conservation and management measures discussed.
Book Synopsis Status Review of the Humpback Whale (Megaptera Novaeangliae) Under the Endangered Species Act by : Shannon Olivia Marie Bettridge

This book was released on 2015 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) were listed as endangered in 1970 under the Endangered Species Conservation Act of 1969, the precursor to the Endangered Species Act (ESA). When the ESA was enacted in 1973, humpback whales were included in the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (the List) as endangered and were considered as 'depleted' under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). In May 2010, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) convened the Humpback Whale Biological Review Team (BRT) to conduct a comprehensive review of the status of humpback whales as the basis for considering revisions to this species' listing status. The ESA, as amended in 1978, defines a species to be 'any subspecies of fish or wildlife or plants, and any distinct population segment of any species of vertebrate fish or wildlife which interbreeds when mature' (Section 3(16)). Guidance on what constitutes a 'distinct population segment' (DPS) is provided by the joint NMFS-Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) interagency policy on vertebrate populations (61 FR 4722, 7 February 1996). To be considered a DPS, a population, or group of populations, must be 'discrete' from the remainder of the taxon to which it belongs; and 'significant' to the taxon to which it belongs. Information on distribution, ecological situation, genetics, and other factors is used to evaluate a population's discreteness and significance. Conducting an ESA status review therefore involves two key tasks: identifying the taxonomic units (species, subspecies or DPS) to be evaluated, and assessing the risk of extinction for each of these units"--Executive summary.

(Us National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (Noaa) (2018 Edition) written by The Law Library and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-07 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Approach Regulations for Humpback Whales in Waters Surrounding Islands of Hawaii - Environmental Assessments - Availability, etc. (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 We, NMFS, are issuing regulations under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) to prevent take by protecting humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) from the detrimental effects resulting from approach by humans within 200 nautical miles (370.4 km) of the islands of Hawaii. These regulations are necessary because existing regulations promulgated under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) protecting humpback whales from approach in Hawaii will no longer be in effect upon the effective date of a final rule published elsewhere in today's issue of the Federal Register that separates humpback whales into 14 Distinct Population Segments (DPSs) and identifies the "Hawaii DPS" as neither endangered nor threatened. These MMPA regulations prohibit operating an aircraft within 1,000 feet (304.8 m) of a humpback whale, approaching within 100 yards (91.4 m) of a humpback whale by any means, causing a vessel, person or other object to approach within 100 yards (91.4 m) of a humpback whale, or approaching a humpback whale by interception (i.e., placing an aircraft, vessel, person, or other object in the path of a humpback whale so that the whale approaches within a restricted distance). The regulations also prohibit the disruption of normal behavior or prior activity of a humpback whale by any act or omission. Certain vessels and activities are exempt from the prohibition. NMFS finds that there is good cause to waive public notice and comment prior to implementation of these regulations in order to avoid a gap in protections for the whales. However, we are requesting comments on the regulations and Environmental Assessment; NMFS will subsequently publish a final rule with responses to comments and any revisions, if appropriate.

Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Endangered or Threatened Species - Southern Resident Killer Whale Distinct Population Segment - Listing Amendments (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Regulation) (NOAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 On January 25, 2013, we, NMFS, received a petition submitted by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Foundation to remove the exclusion of captive animals from the endangered species listing of Southern Resident killer whale DPS, as well as, recognize the captive killer whale (Orcinus orca) "Lolita" as a protected member of the endangered Southern Resident killer whale Distinct Population Segment (DPS). We completed a status review and published a proposed rule, and we are now amending the regulatory language of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) listing of the DPS by removing the exclusion for captive members of the population. We have further determined that Lolita, a female killer whale captured from the Southern Resident killer whale population in 1970 who resides at the Miami Seaquarium in Miami, Florida, is not excluded from the Southern Resident killer whale DPS due to her captive status.

Book Synopsis Humpback Whale (Megaptera Novaeangliae) Entanglements in Commercial Fishing Gear on the U.S. West Coast by : Rachel Assink
Download or read book Humpback Whale (Megaptera Novaeangliae) Entanglements in Commercial Fishing Gear on the U.S. West Coast written by Rachel Assink and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) on the U.S. West Coast were separated into three Distinct Population Segments (DPSs) under the Endangered Species Act, but have remained one stock under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The mismatch between stock structure and DPS structure under these two different laws has created several management challenges, particularly in terms of assessing allowable levels of human-caused mortalities. Entanglement in commercial fishing gear presents a significant source of mortality and injury for humpback whales, and entanglement reports on the West Coast have significantly increased since 2014. I address some of the implications of a future change in stock structure to match the DPS structure by assessing 1) which DPSs are most likely to be affected by entanglements, examining differential levels of mortality and serious injury, and 2) examining reductions in mortality needed to achieve management goals. I find that under a revised stock structure consistent with DPS designations, current entanglement rates exceed allowable mortality levels for the endangered Central America population.
