Northeast Region Marine Mammal Authorization Program (MMAP) Certification
Current state or federal permit holders for fisheries falling under one of more of the Category I/II fisheries (defined in the 2009 List of Fisheries) are automatically registered in NOAA Fisheries Service Marine Mammal Authorization Program (MMAP) in the Northeast Region. Only those Category I/II commercial fishery participants registered under the MMAP are exempted from the Act’s general prohibition on the taking of non-endangered/threatened marine mammals incidental to their fishing operations. No takes of endangered or threatened marine mammals are authorized in the Atlantic.
