Cantharellus noumeae, Siderastrea glynni, Tubastraea floreana 5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation 5-Year Review of Three Foreign Coral Species

In 2015, after a status review of the species (the Status Review; Meadows 2014), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) listed the three coral species as endangered (80 FR 60560; October 7, 2015; listing effective November 6, 2015). On April 7, 2020, we initiated this 5-year review for the three foreign coral species: Cantharellus noumeae, Siderastrea glynni, and Tubastraea floreana (85 FR 19456). To compile the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, we first reviewed the Status Review (Meadows 2014), which was based on the best available scientific and commercial data available at that time. We then searched for relevant new information on the three coral species, their biology and habitat, and threats to their existence. 2020 NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service) OPR (Office of Protected Resources) Submitted Public Domain 1861
