Instruct NMFS (&NOAA) to deny permit for Shell Oil proposed incidental harassment authorization protected Marine Mammals

Created by D.D. on March 05, 2015

Stop Shell Oil from take by harassment of federally protected Marine Mammals, specifically Shell has requested an authorization to take seven marine mammal
species by Level B harassment. Specifically species include Beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas); bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus); gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus); bearded seal (Erignathus barbatus); ringed
seal (Phoca hispida); spotted seal (P. largha); and ribbon seal (Histriophoca fasciata).

By admission Shell Oil will potentially disturb a marine mammal or marine mammal stock in the wild
by causing disruption of behavioral patterns, including, but not limited to, migration, breathing, nursing, breeding, feeding, or sheltering [Level B harassment].

This is illegal & harms our oceans' ecosystem upon which America depends.
