Washington Department of Natural Resources Seeks Comments on Proposed Low-Impact Habitat Conservation Plan for Commercial Geoduck Fishery

The Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking public comments on a proposed 50-year incidental take permit for the Washington Department of Natural Resources' Commercial Geoduck Fishery, which would allow for the incidental take of covered species associated with the fishery's management, and on whether the proposed Habitat Conservation Plan qualifies as a 'low-effect' plan eligible for a categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act.
