Beringia and Okhotsk Distinct Populations Segments of the Bearded Seal Listed as Threatened Under the Endangered Species Act

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has issued a final determination to list the Beringia and Okhotsk distinct populations segments (DPSs) of the Erignathus barbatus nauticus subspecies of the bearded seal as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The agency will propose to designate critical habitat for the Beringia DPS in a future rulemaking and is soliciting information to support this effort.
