Summary
The Office of Naval Research wants to keep studying marine mammals in the Arctic’s Beaufort and Chukchi Seas without harming them. NMFS is renewing their permission for these activities, which mostly stay the same, and is asking the public for a few more days of comments. This helps protect marine life while supporting important military research, with no new costs or big changes.
