Application Details 

Permit Application: 2025–019 

1. Applicant: Ari Friedlaender, UC 

Santa Cruz, Institute of Marine 

Sciences, 115 McAllister Way, 

Santa Cruz, CA 96050. 

Activity for Which Permit is 

Requested: Type, description of activity. 

Take, Harmful Interference, Import into 

USA. The applicant proposes to 

continue research activities to 

understand the population demography, 

health, behavior, and ecology of 

cetaceans in the Antarctic Peninsula 

region. To study these species, the 

applicant and agents would assess body 

condition, health, behavior, and 

distribution using remotely piloted 

aircraft systems (RPAS). Population 

demography and growth rates of 

cetaceans would be evaluated from 

remote biopsy samples that would be 

imported to the U.S. for analysis. 

Behavior and ecology of individual 

whales would be studied using multisensor suction cup tags that collect 

high-resolution behavioral information 

for 1–2 days, dart/barb tags that to 

collect spatial and dive data for up to 

one month, and implantable tags that 

collect movement and behavioral data 

on individual whales for months. The 

applicant and agents would biopsy, tag, 

and operate RPAS over humpback 

whales, Antarctic minke whales, blue 

whales, fin whales, sei whales, southern 

right whales, killer whales, and 

Arnoux’s beaked whales. The proposed 

research focusing on cetaceans requires 

a permit under the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act which is currently 

pending. 

Location: Antarctic Peninsula Region.
