2024 5-Year Review: Summary & Evaluation of Northern California Steelhead

July 09, 2024

Five-year reviews describe whether recovery is on track in the context of the recovery plan, explain what the most significant accomplishments have been over the previous five years, and identify the greatest immediate challenges for species recovery.

Under the Endangered Species Act, NOAA Fisheries periodically reviews the status of each of 28 West Coast salmon and steelhead species listed as threatened or endangered. These 5-year reviews pull together the findings of the viability assessments and the statutory test of the five listing factors to determine whether a change in ESA-listing status is recommended. The 5-year reviews also describe whether recovery is on track in the context of the recovery plan, explain what the most significant accomplishments have been over the previous five years, and identify the greatest immediate challenges for the recovery of each species looking ahead.
