NOAA issues science-based measures to protect marine mammals during Shell’s proposed oil and gas exploratory programs in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas

NOAA’s Fisheries Service is issuing two incidental harassment authorizations to Shell for energy exploration activities in shallow waters in the Arctic during a limited period this summer. The authorizations specify measures to protect marine mammals and the subsistence interests of Alaskan Natives, and are informed by the latest science as well as lessons learned from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
