The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has received 25 scientific research permit applications focused on various fish species like salmon and sturgeon. These permits, which include renewals and new requests, aim to aid conservation efforts by enhancing understanding of fish under the Endangered Species Act. The proposed studies utilize methods such as electrofishing and tagging to gather data on fish habitats, population dynamics, and migration, with no intentional harm intended to the fish. Public comments on the applications are invited until March 18, 2021.
