5-Year Review for Maui's Dolphin and the South Island Hector's Dolphin
Summary
We are required by the Endangered Species Act to conduct 5-year reviews of all listed species. The 5-year review must be based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review. We previously requested submission of any such information on these species, particularly information on their status, threats, and recoveries. We have completed the 5-year review, which is available on the links below. We conclude that no change to the listing statuses are warranted at this time.
