    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is considering renewing an incidental harassment authorization (IHA) for the Chesapeake Tunnel Joint Venture (CTJV) to take marine mammals during construction work on the Parallel Thimble Shoal Tunnel Project in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This renewal is necessary because project delays mean initial work won't be completed by the original IHA expiration. The proposed renewal includes measures to minimize impacts on marine mammals and allows for additional public comments until February 23, 2021. The activities involved are similar to previous ones and are expected to have minimal impact on marine mammal populations.
