On Page 60883, third column, the discussion of harbor porpoise behavioral
harassment criteria is completed. After the last sentence in this section, another
sentence should be inserted to accurately frame the biological distribution for the
species (harbor porpoise) in question. This is a point that a lay reader will
assume
SOCAL Risk Function includes an analysis for harbor porpoises.
Recommended language:
"It should be noted that harbor porpoises are not a regular species normally
found
in Southern California. The harbor porpoise is are more commonly found in near
shore water from Central California north of Point Conception to Alaska."
