Summary

NMFS authorize incidental take of marine mammals (ringed seal only) resulting from the U.S. Navy's Ice Exercises (ICEX) in the Arctic Ocean in 2024. Takes may result from active acoustic transmissions. ICEX 2022 included use of exercise torpedoes, but ICEX 2024 does not include use of torpedoes.
