- Description
- Amendment NO. 0001 The purpose of this amendment is to add the price schedule. The Northern Right Whale is among the most endangered large whales in the world with a population size of approximately 340 animals. Human activities including commercial fishing and shipping are a major threat to the survival of this species. There have been several right whale mortalities due to collisions with large vessels during the last three years. In 2004 alone there were three mortalities of pregnant female right whales that were likely associated with vessel strikes. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is currently developing a comprehensive strategy to reduce the risk of fatal collisions between right whales and vessel traffic along the U.S. Atlantic coast. While there have been several ship strike mortalities in the U.S. mid-Atlantic region between Georgia and New Jersey, there is relatively little information on the seasonal spatial distribution and abundance of right whales in this area. This critical gap in knowledge reduces NMFS’ ability to develop strategies to mitigate vessel collisions. During FY2004 and FY2005, NMFS Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) conducted preliminary research to deploy passive acoustic monitoring buoys along the U.S. mid-Atlantic to document the seasonal presence of right whales in this area. Results from these studies indicated the presence of right whales in this area during the late winter and early spring and demonstrated the effectiveness of this tool for monitoring right whale habitat use. During the fall and winter of 2005-2006 NMFS/SEFSC is continuing this research project to use passive hydroacoustic buoys to monitor for the presence of the North Atlantic Right Whale in shallow continental shelf waters of the mid-Atlantic Bight. This contract will provide vessel support for the deployment and recovery of monitoring buoys.
