U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act
While the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) was enacted in the United States of America in response to declines of some marine mammal species, it was never designed to regulate sound in the marine environment and geoscience surveys. Despite the fact that not one marine mammal in U.S. waters has gone extinct in the more than 40 years since the MMPA became law, today the energy geoscience industry is heavily restricted by the Act. It’s time to Modernize MMPA.
