The plan supports the Incidental Harassment Authorization (IHA) application under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and addresses impacts to species protected by the Endangered Species Act. Monitoring will operate during specified construction activities using defined mitigation zones, protected species observers, and procedures to avoid or minimize exposure, while collecting data on takes, occurrences, and animal responses and reporting injured or dead marine mammals.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research & Report",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/marine-mammal-monitoring-and-mitigation-plan-iha-november-2024/156504/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/marine-mammal-monitoring-and-mitigation-plan-iha-november-2024/156504.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Ethan Miller","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-17","2026-08-28",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",9,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is the purpose of the plan?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The plan establishes a protocol for monitoring marine mammals affected by the proposed Vessel Haulout Project and supports the IHA application and assessment of ESA-protected species impacts.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"What activities trigger the monitoring program?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"Monitoring begins at the start of specified construction activities and follows the protocols defined in the plan.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"How does the plan reduce impacts to marine mammals?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"It uses mitigation zones, protected species observers, and project impact avoidance and minimization measures to limit exposure to established noise thresholds and document animal responses.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":32,"og:type":75,"og:title":10,"og:site_name":45,"og:description":12},"article",{"robots":77,"canonical":32},"index,follow",{"doc_id":79,"site_id":7},156504,1787961051,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":83},"success",{"doc_id":79,"user_id":84,"nickname":42,"user_avatar":85,"doc_module":4,"category_id":86,"category_name":29,"doc_title":10,"doc_description":12,"doc_content":87,"file_id":88,"file_url":89,"file_type":90,"file_size":91,"view_count":55,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":22,"is_downloadable":22,"audit_status":22,"page_count":92,"language":93,"language_code":8,"site_id":7,"html_lang":8,"table_of_contents":94,"faqs":95,"seo_title":96,"seo_description":12,"update_tm":80,"read_time":97,"preview_page_count":4},687207017582,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_994ba38a5ba835b3df7d355c54d3ed8d",8,"MARINE MAMMAL MONITORING AND MITIGATION PLAN  \nGary Paxton Industrial Park Vessel Haulout Project, Sitka, AK November 2024  \nPND Project 232023  \nPREPARED FOR:  \nCity & Borough of Sitka  \nPREPARED BY:  \nENGINEERS , INC .  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS .......................................................................................................................................................
