Petition to List Puget Sound Steelhead
May 7, 2007: NOAA Fisheries Service announced that it’s listing Puget Sound steelhead as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act. The agency received a petition in 2004 to list this distinct population segment, and convened a biological review team to examine the status of the Puget Sound DPS. The fisheries service accepted the petition, and later proposed to list this population. Following review of public comments received on the proposal, NOAA determined that listing of Puget Sound steelhead is warranted.
