replacement and bluff improvement 

project at La Jolla, CA, will result, at 

most, in a temporary modification in 

behavior by Pacific harbor seals by head 

alerts and/or flushing from the beach. 

While behavioral modifications may be 

made by these species as a result of 

demolition and construction activities, 

this behavioral change is expected to 

result in no more than a negligible 

impact on the affected species. While 

the number of potential incidental 

harassment takes will depend on the 

distribution and abundance of marine 

mammals in the vicinity of the survey 

activity and the distance between the 

seals and the construction site, the 

number of potential harassment takings 

will be small, and no take by injury and/

or death is anticipated. The project is 

not expected to interfere with any 

subsistence hunts. NMFS has therefore 

determined that the requirements of 

section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA have 

been met and the authorization can be 

issued.

Authorization

NMFS has issued an IHA to the City 

of San Diego to take small numbers of 

Pacific harbor seals incidental to wall 

replacement and bluff improvement 

projects, provided the previously 

mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and 

reporting requirements are incorporated.
