Takes of Marine Mammals Incidental to Specified Activities; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Alaska LNG Project in Cook Inlet

Dear NOAA Administrator Laura Grimm, NOAA Fisheries Assistant Administrator Eugenio Pinero Soler, and Regional Administrator of the NOAA Fisheries Alaska Region Jon Kurland, Please see the attached 11,454 comments from Center for Biological Diversity supporters urging NOAA Fisheries to reject the proposed incidental take regulations for the Alaska LNG project in Cook Inlet. This project poses serious risks to marine mammals, especially critically endangered Cook Inlet beluga whales, and falls far short of the protections required under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Please see attached comments from the Center for Biological Diversity, Alaska Wildlife Alliance, Cook Inletkeeper, Fairbanks Climate Action Coalition, Pacific Environment, The Alaska Center, and 350Juneau. References cited in the letter are also attached.
