Posted from an alert issued by Rosalind Peterson from California Sky Watch.
The U.S. Navy has completed the Final Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/OEIS for the Northwest Training Range Complex. A Rule of Decision, allowing the Navy to go forward with warfare testing in the NWTRC will be issued, due to a Court Order, on October 25, 2010. Once NOAA issues permit for the Navy to “Take” marine mammals this year, 30 days later, the Navy can begin its 5-year Warfare Testing in northern California, Orgeon, Washington, and Idaho.
The definition of “take” is defined under the MMPA as “harass, hunt, capture, kill, or collect, or attempt to harass, hunt, capture kill or collect.” It is defined by the ESA in a similar way.
