Availability of a Final Revised Recovery Plan for the Oregon Silverspot Butterfly

We, the Fish and Wildlife Service announce the availability of a final revised recovery plan for the Oregon silverspot butterfly (Speyeria zerene hippolyta), which will update the original recovery plan that was completed in 1982. This butterfly is distributed in six small areas along the Pacific coast from northern California to southern Washington. The Oregon silverspot butterfly depends upon coastal grasslands that contain the larval host plant (early blue violet), nectar sources, and adult courtship areas. Actions needed for recovery include permanent protection of habitat, restoration and management of native coastal grasslands, and prevention of further habitat fragmentation by minimizing the effects of human disturbance.
