Reminder: Deadline for submitting comments on 82 corals is April 12

 

The deadline for submitting comments on the 82 coral species that were
petitioned for protection under the Endangered Species Act is fast
approaching on April 12. Comment letters from scientists, government
agencies, and the public on the status of these corals---including
information on distribution, population status, threats, and management
programs for these corals-are important to make sure that the ESA listing
decisions are based on the best available science.

 

The Center for Biological Diversity, which petitioned to list these corals,
put together an information sheet on submitting comments to NMFS on the
petitioned corals, and what listing the corals would mean. To access this
information sheet, please go to:

Thanks!
