Recovering Threatened and Endangered Species Report to Congress 2021–2022
NOAA Fisheries has released the Recovering Threatened and Endangered Species Report to Congress. It summarizes our’ efforts to recover all transnational and domestic species under our jurisdiction from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2022. This report summarizes the status of each species that has or will have a recovery plan, the status of the recovery plan, and the completion date for the last 5-year review.
We are adding the endangered Rice’s whale to the Species in the Spotlight initiative. We listed the Rice’s whale, previously known as the Gulf of Mexico Bryde’s whale, as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act in 2019. This will bring greater attention to the species and marshal resources to save this highly at risk species.
