The Consultation Frameworks provide information needed to consult on federal actions that may affect some ESA-listed marine species and their designated critical habitat within the Southeast Region.
The Consultation Frameworks summarize the best available information on species life history, behavior, and distribution; critical habitat; activities and potential routes of effect; and recommendations for integrating recovery considerations into section 7 consultation practices.
The Consultation Frameworks can be used by federal action agencies, or non-federal representatives to minimize effects to ESA-listed marine species and critical habitats and support recovery and conservation efforts. A large quantity of information was summarized in the production of these frameworks, and they should be considered a consultation aid and used as general guidance.
Consultation Frameworks
We are developing additional consultation frameworks for species and critical habitat under SERO’s jurisdiction.
