University of Alaska Fairbanks – College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences iii 2017 Beaufort Sea Nearshore Fish Monitoring Executive Summary The Beaufort Sea Fish Monitoring Program is the most comprehensive and continuous sampling efforts to monitor the assemblage structure and health of anadromous and amphidromous fishes in nearshore waters of the central Beaufort Sea near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. This program was initiated to monitor and, if necessary, direct mitigation of environmental impacts on nearshore fishes related to oil and gas development, with a particular emphasis on species of subsistence importance in the region.

  • Docket No. FWS‒R7‒ES‒2021‒0037; FXES111607MRG01–212–FF07CAMM00]
    This document is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on 06/01/2021 and available online at Billing Code: 4333–15 federalregister.gov/d/2021-11496, and on govinfo.gov DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service 50 CFR Part 18 [Docket No. FWS‒R7‒ES‒2021‒0037; FXES111607MRG01–212–FF07CAMM00] RIN 1018–BF13 Marine Mammals; Incidental Take During Specified Activities; North Slope, Alaska AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of availability of draft environmental assessment; and request for comments. SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in response to a request from the Alaska Oil and Gas Association, propose to issue regulations authorizing the nonlethal, incidental, unintentional take by harassment of small numbers of polar bears and Pacific walruses during year-round oil and gas industry activities in the Beaufort Sea (Alaska and the Outer Continental Shelf) and adjacent northern coast of Alaska. Take may result from oil and gas exploration, development, production, and transportation activities occurring for a period of 5 years. These activities are similar to those covered by the previous 5- year Beaufort Sea incidental take regulations effective from August 5, 2016, through August 5, 2021. This proposed rule would authorize take by harassment only. No lethal take would be authorized. If this rule is finalized, we will issue Letters of Authorization, upon request, for specific proposed activities in accordance with this proposed regulation. Therefore, we request comments on these proposed regulations. DATES: Comments on these proposed incidental take regulations and the accompanying draft environmental assessment will be accepted on or before [INSERT DATE 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].
