What the agency says

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce a 12-month finding on a petition to list the San Francisco Estuary (SFE) distinct population segment (DPS) of white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus; San Francisco Estuary white sturgeon) as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). After a thorough review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that listing the SFE DPS of white sturgeon as an endangered or threatened species is warranted but precluded by higher priority actions to amend the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants. We will develop a proposed rule to list the SFE DPS white sturgeon as our priorities allow. However, we ask the public to submit to us any new information relevant to the status of the species or its habitat at any time.
