Incidental taking means “an accidental taking. This does not mean that the taking is unexpected, but rather it includes those takings that are infrequent, unavoidable, or accidental.” (50 C.F.R. §216.103). NMFS Office of Protected Resources (OPR) has received a request for Incidental Take Regulations (ITR) and associated Letter of Authorization (LOA) from Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, LLC, a joint venture between EDF-RE Offshore Development LLC and Shell New Energies US LLC for the incidental take of small numbers of marine mammals during the construction of the Atlantic Shores South project.5 The requested ITR would govern the authorization of take, by both Level A and Level B harassment6, of “small numbers” of marine mammals over a 5-year period incidental to construction-related pile driving activities (impact and vibratory), and high-resolution geophysical (HRG) site characterization surveys. A final ITR would allow for the issuance of a LOA to Atlantic Shores for a 5-year period; the issuance of two LOAs (one for Project 1 and one for Project 2) is proposed. NMFS OPR’s issuance of an ITR and LOAs is included as an element of the proposed action in this opinion.
