U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Announces 12-Month Finding for San Francisco Estuary White Sturgeon Listing Under Endangered Species Act

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has announced a 12-month finding on a petition to list the San Francisco Estuary distinct population segment of white sturgeon as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The agency finds that listing is warranted but precluded by higher priority actions, and will develop a proposed rule once priorities allow.
