Section 7: Biological Opinions in the Greater Atlantic Region
A list of the active and archived Section 7 Biological Options in the Greater Atlantic Region.
About Active and Archived Biological Opinions
An "active" Biological Opinion is currently in effect - typically an action that is ongoing or expected to begin soon. An "archived" Biological Opinion is for an action that has been completed, is no longer planned, or for an ongoing project, has been replaced by a Biological Opinion in the "active" list. A list of these biological opinions can be found below.

How to Locate a Consultation
Active Biological Opinions (including fisheries and non-fisheries actions) can be found in the NOAA Repository by typing in the ECO number (i.e., GARFO-2019-12345) or by clicking on the links below. Alternatively, you can search for the consultation on doi.org, by typing in the DOI number. You can retrieve the DOI or ECO number by searching for the project in ECO.
Note: If you are unable to locate an individual consultation or related documents in ECO or the NOAA Repository, please send an email to NMFS.Historic.Consultations@noaa.gov.
