The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is considering an authorization request from the City of Ketchikan, Alaska, to permit incidental harassment of marine mammals during the Berth III Mooring Dolphins Project. This project involves construction activities that might disturb marine mammals, and NMFS is looking for public comments on this proposal as well as a potential 1-year renewal. The main goal is to ensure that the construction does not have a significant negative impact on the marine mammals or their habitat. The proposed measures include monitoring, mitigation efforts, and the use of the specified methods to minimize disturbance to the animals.

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will host a 3-day meeting of the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Advisory Panel via webinar in May 2025. The meeting will focus on discussing options for the conservation and management of species like tunas, swordfish, sharks, and billfish in the Atlantic region. The event will be open to the public, who can participate and provide comments at designated times. The advisory panel is part of efforts under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to consider different management strategies and updates related to highly migratory species.
