Regulatory History

In 2013, NOAA Fisheries received a petition to list Siderastrea glynni coral as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. In our 90-day finding, we concluded that the petitioned action may be warranted. After completing a status review, we proposed to list Siderastrea glynni coral as endangered and requested comments from the public. In 2015, NOAA Fisheries listed Siderastrea glynni coral as endangered under the Endangered Species Act.
