MARINE MAMMAL COMMISSION


Sunshine Act Meetings

TIME AND DATE: The Marine Mammal Commission and its Committee of 
Scientific Advisors on Marine Mammals will hold a public meeting on 
Tuesday, 14 November 2023 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Wednesday, 15 
November 2023 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Commission and the Committee 
also will meet in executive session on Tuesday, 14 November 2023, from 
4:15 to 5 p.m.

PLACE: The Navy Memorial Visitor's Center, 701 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 
Washington, DC 20004.

STATUS: The executive session will be closed to the public in 
accordance with the provisions of the Government in the Sunshine Act (5 
U.S.C. 552b) and applicable regulations. The session will be limited to 
discussions of the internal personnel rules and practices of the 
Commission. All other portions of the meeting will be open to the 
public. Public participation will be allowed as time permits and as 
determined to be desirable by the Chair. Virtual participation will be 
possible through a Zoom Webinar. The meeting agenda and webinar 
registration details will be posted on the Commission's website 
(<a href="https://www.mmc.gov/events-meetings-and-workshops/marine-mammal-commission-annual-meetings/2023-annual-meeting/">https://www.mmc.gov/events-meetings-and-workshops/marine-mammal-commission-annual-meetings/2023-annual-meeting/</a>) prior to the meeting.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: The Commission and Committee will meet in 
public session to discuss a broad range of marine mammal science and 
conservation policy issues and celebrate the 50th anniversaries of the 
Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammal Protection Act. While these 
laws have achieved the recovery of some marine mammal species, others 
continue to struggle and face a variety of risk factors, including the 
impacts of climate change. Through the meeting, we will use case 
studies of threatened and endangered marine mammals to explore 
national-level issues related to stock assessment, health surveillance, 
and other management needs in a changing climate.
