Once NOAA issues permit for the Navy to "Take" marine mammals this year, 30 days later, the Navy can begin its 5-year Warfare Testing in northern California, Orgeon, Washington, and Idaho.The definition of "take" is defined under the MMPA as "harass, hunt, capture, kill, or collect, or attempt to harass, hunt, capture kill or collect." It is defined by the ESA in a similar way.
