The Natural Science Collections Alliance (NSCA) and the Society for the Preservation of Natural History (SPNHC) have submitted joint comments on a proposed rule to modify the duration of certain permits and letters of confirmation under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA).
“We support the changes in permit terms proposed by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which we think would benefit all institutions and organizations engaged in marine mammal research and conservation,” state NSCA and SPNHC. Read the letter.
