Title

5-year reviews for 15 species of Indo-Pacific corals listed under the Endangered Species Act

Abstract

 These 5-year reviews summarize information from our 2023 document “Recovery Status Review for 15 Species of Indo-Pacific Reef-building Corals Listed under the Endangered Species Act” (attached, NMFS 2023), and provide recommendations regarding listing classifications for each species. The Recovery Status Review (RSR), which will be part of the 3-part framework for our forthcoming Indo-Pacific Corals Recovery Plan, represents the best scientific and commercial information available on the status and threats for each of the 15 listed corals. The first draft of the RSR was written for our 2021 Recovery Workshop for the 15 listed corals and modeled after the original 2011 Status Review Report (SRR, Brainard et al. 2011), which was completed for the 2014 final listing rule for these 15 species (79 FR 53851). The SRR provided a threats evaluation describing the common global and local threats to all 15 species, as well as species-specific descriptions of the distribution, abundance, and threats for each species.
