Section 4(b)(2) Report Supporting Designating Critical Habitat
-
This report contains NMFS Northeast Region’s analysis pursuant to Section 4(b)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which supports the proposed designation of critical habitat for the Gulf of Maine Distinct Population Segment (GOM DPS) of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). In this analysis, we describe the benefits of designating any particular area as critical habitat based upon the biological value of the area to the GOM DPS. We also describe the economic, national security,
and other relevant impacts of designating any particular area as critical habitat. We then balance the benefits of designation against the impacts of designation and, as a result of this balancing, propose to exclude from the designation a number of particular areas for which we determined that the benefits of exclusion (i.e., the economic, national security, and other relevant impacts that would result if the area were designated) outweighed the benefits of designation. For these areas, we also determined that exclusion would not result in extinction of the GOM DPS.

USFWS Maine Field Office

The Ecological Services program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for the conservation and restoration of fish and wildlife and their habitats. Maine Field Office biologists investigate the effects of contaminants and recover damages for injuries to Department of the Interior trust resources caused by oil or chemical releases. We also help recover threatened and endangered species and review proposals for wetland and stream alterations from many types of development. We recommend measures to enhance fish and wildlife resources in conjunction with the licensing of energy generation facilities and other Federal projects such as shoreline protection, navigation and flood control, etc. Our work with private individuals, organizations, and other State and Federal agencies protects, restores and enhances fish and wildlife habitat on private, State, and Federal lands. Our office also provides the public with information about the value and benefits derived from the conservation and restoration of fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats.
