NMFS and USFWS Extend Deadline for Loggerhead Sea Turtle Listing Decision

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) are extending the deadline to make a final decision on listing nine loggerhead sea turtle populations as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The decision was previously delayed due to disagreements over the interpretation of data and the magnitude of the fisheries bycatch threat.
