[Coral-List] 82 Corals Status Review under the US Endangered Species Act

[Jennifer Moore]

As part of an on-going status review of 82 species of coral under the US
Endangered Species Act, NOAA Fisheries has opened an additional information
solicitation period.  We will hold two scientific workshops and two public
listening sessions, one each in Honoulu, Hawaii and Dania Beach, Florida,
to gather information.  Please refer to the Federal Register notice at
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-05-22/pdf/2012-12368.pdf for details
on dates, times, and locations.  If you would like to submit written
information, please send it to nmfs.82corals at noaa.gov.  If you have
questions, please contact Lance Smith (Hawaii) at lance.smith at noaa.gov or
Jennifer Moore (Florida) at jennifer.moore at noaa.gov.

Cheers,
