SURVEY

Numerous federal departments and agencies conduct or support research and management of marine mammals and their habitats. The Marine Mammal Commission is requesting information from those departments and agencies to determine the scope and level of federal funding of marine mammal research to assess ways in which efforts can best be coordinated and used to further marine mammal conservation. The Commission is conducting this survey as part of its duties under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (Sec. 202(a)(2) and Sec. 205). The results will be a resource for federal agencies as they plan their research and management strategies, seek to avoid duplication of effort, and identify opportunities to partner and share data with other agencies. The FY2023 data call is open from October 18, 2023 to December 22, 2023.
