The Marine Mammal Commission and the Environmental Law Institute have collaborated with the Indigenous Peoples Council for Marine Mammals, Alaska marine mammal co-management organizations, the Alaska Federation of Natives, and Alaskan native tribal councils to develop model consultation procedures.
