| Abstract: |
This feature dataset contains feature classes showing the distribution of marine mammal species protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act occuring in the Alaska EEZ. See Spatial Data Properties for a list of individual species. Please see http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/mapping/esa/ for more info. |
| Purpose: |
This feature dataset contains feature classes showing the distribution of marine mammal species protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act occuring in the Alaska EEZ. The U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) protects all marine mammals, including cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises), pinnipeds (seals and sea lions), sirenians (manatees and dugongs), sea otters, and polar bears within the waters of the United States. The Act makes it illegal to "take" marine mammals without a permit. This means people may not harass, feed, hunt, capture, collect, or kill any marine mammal or part of a marine mammal. The Act also formalized the marine mammal health and stranding response program to improve the response of stranding and unusual mortality events. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration web site gives the complete text of the Act. The MMPA is managed by the federal government. The National Marine Fisheries Service, part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the Department of Commerce, is responsible for managing cetaceans, otariids, and phocids. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, part of the Department of the Interior, is responsible for managing odobenids, sirenians, otters, and polar bears. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, part of the Department of Agriculture, is responsible for regulations managing the facilities that house marine mammals in captivity. |
