Résumé

This Act prohibits, except under specified conditions, the taking, including transportation, importing or possession, of fur seals and sea otters. Exceptions are authorized for Indians, Aleuts, and Eskimos who dwell on the coasts of the North Pacific Ocean, who are permitted to take fur seals and dispose of their skins. The Act also authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to conduct scientific research on the fur seal resources of the North Pacific Ocean and the Secretary to continue to administer the Pribilof Islands as a special reservation for the purpose of conserving, managing, and protecting the North Pacific fur seal and other wildlife. With respect to sea otters, the Secretary may undertake measures beneficial to trusts for specific areas.
