Military Readiness and Southern Sea Otter Conservation Act

Summary

Military Readiness and Southern Sea Otter Conservation Act - Directs the Secretary of Defense (DOD) to establish Southern Sea Otter Military Readiness Areas for national defense purposes (thereby conserving the southern sea otter [otter] in such Areas while allowing reasonable military readiness activities). Allows certain incidental otter takings in such Areas in the course of a military readiness activity, while authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to revise or terminate such authorized takings upon determining that the military activities are substantially impeding otter conservation or the return of such otters to optimum sustainable levels. Directs the Secretary of the Navy, every three years, to: (1) measure the growth or decline of the otter population, and (2) report to Congress and the public on such monitoring. Requires the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Director of the National Marine Fisheries Service to develop an ecosystem management plan that, for waters off the California coast, ensures the recovery of the otter and the endangered black and white abalone, as well as the commercial harvest of shellfish fisheries at levels approximating current harvests. Requires the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to: (1) assess the carrying capacity of the habitat for otters, and (2) continue implementation of the existing otter relocation and management plan until the ecosystem management plan and otter assessment are completed.
