The American eel may need federal protection as a threatened or endangered
species, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
announced on September 28, following an
initial review of a petition seeking to protect
the species under the Endangered Species
Act. Today’s decision, a 90-day finding,
is based on scientific information provided in the
petition from the Council for Endangered
Species Act Reliability and in the Service’s
files. The Service will begin an extensive
status review for the American eel to determine
if protecting it under the ESA is warranted.
