The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces the availability for public review of a draft recovery plan for the Cave crayfish (Cambarus aculabrum). The cave crayfish is only known from two cave streams in Benton County, northwest Arkansas. One of the caves (Logan) is federally owned as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System while the other cave (Bear Hollow) is privately owned. The surrounding watershed and recharge area of both caves is in private ownership. This species is listed as endangered without critical habitat. The Service solicits review and comment from the public on this draft plan.
