Status Review of the Ribbon Seal (Histriophoca Fasciata)
"This status review is intended to be a compilation of the best available information concerning the status of ribbon seals (Histriophoca fasciata), including the past, present, and future threats to this species. It is an update to a previous review (Boveng et al. 2008) conducted in response to a petition filed by the Center for Biological Diversity to list the ribbon seal as threatened or endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA), primarily due to concern about threats to this species' habitat from climate warming and loss of sea ice. This update was compiled by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) biological review team (BRT) under a settlement agreement with the Center for Biological Diversity on August 30, 2011, in which NMFS agreed to apply a modified approach to analyzing extinction risk in the 'foreseeable future', and incorporate new information that has become available since the previous review"--Executive summary.

Alaska Fisheries Science Center Loss of Sea Ice (LOSI) Plan for FY15 - FY19
"This collaborative research by several AFSC Divisions will address objectives within NOAA's Arctic Vision and Strategy (NOAA 2011), and contribute to the implementation of NOAA's Arctic Action Plan (NOAA 2014) for pursuing responsible Arctic region stewardship and enhancing international partnerships. Surveys to assess the abundance of managed fish stocks and ice-associated seals and to collect oceanographic data are goals of the Arctic Action Plan for Living Marine Resources Surveys and Assessments. This research will meet these goals by providing information on how species distribution and marine food webs are altered by climate and seasonal ice in the northern Bering Sea, and for ice seals, in the Chukchi Sea"--Introduction.
Alaska Marine Mammal Stock Assessments, 2016
"On 30 April 1994, Public Law 103-238 was enacted allowing significant changes to provisions within the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). Interactions between marine mammals and commercial fisheries are addressed under three new sections. This new regime replaced the interim exemption that has regulated fisheriesrelated incidental takes since 1988. Section 117, Stock Assessments, required the establishment of three regional scientific review groups to advise and report on the status of marine mammal stocks within Alaska waters, along the Pacific Coast (including Hawaii), and the Atlantic Coast (including the Gulf of Mexico). This report provides information on the marine mammal stocks of ...
