Proactive Conservation Program Banner

The Proactive Conservation Program is designed to promote efforts to conserve species for which NOAA Fisheries Service has concerns regarding status and threats, or those for which insufficient information is available to indicate whether listing under the Endangered Species Act is warranted. Species of Concern can also be "candidate species" if they have been petitioned for ESA listing or if a status review has been initiated by NOAA Fisheries Service.
