information to the relevant Native 

American whaling organization about

retrieving a dead whale is also required

distinctive permanent identification 

mark on any harpoon, lance, or 

explosive dart used, and must also 

provide information on the mark and 

self-identification information. The 

relevant Native American whaling 

organization receives the reports, 

compiles them, and submits the 

information to NOAA. 

The information is used to monitor 

the hunt and to ensure that quotas are 

not exceeded. The information is also

monitor compliance with its 

requirements.
