Candidate
Species
refers to (1) species that are the subject of a petition to list and for
which we have determined that listing may be warranted, pursuant to
section 4(b)(3)(A), and (2) species that are not the subject of a petition
but for which NOAA Fisheries Service has announced the initiation of a
status review in the Federal Register.
Species
of Concern
are those species about which NOAA Fisheries Service has concerns
regarding status and threats, but for which insufficient information is
available to indicate a need to list the species under the Endangered
Species Act (ESA). The goal is to promote proactive conservation efforts
for these species in order to preclude the need to list them in the
future.
