Oil Industry Harrassing Marine Mammals in Gulf of Mexico

"Under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), on March 3, 2003, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) published a notice of receipt of an application for the harassment of marine mammals incidental to conducting seismic surveys by the U.S. oil and gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico. By this document, NMFS announces an extension of the comment deadline." - excerpt from the 4/3/2003 issue of the email newsletter, "For All Things Wild" from the Endangered Species Coalition.
