U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Proposes Revision to Critical Habitat for Marbled Murrelet

Summary

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to revise the critical habitat designation for the marbled murrelet in Washington, Oregon, and California, in response to a settlement agreement reached in 2003, and would result in approximately 221,692 acres of land being designated as critical habitat, a reduction of about 3.7 million acres from the current designation.
