Description:"This report summarizes efforts to recover all domestic species under NMFS' jurisdiction from October 1, 2012, through September 30, 2014. It includes a summary table (Table 1) outlining the status of each species the Secretary has found would benefit from having a recovery plan, the status of the recovery plan, and the date the last 5-year review was completed. With this report, NMFS is embarking on a strategic approach to endangered species recovery that focuses agency resources on species for which immediate, targeted efforts are needed to stabilize their populations and prevent extinction. This report highlights the recovery stories of the eight at-risk species we've identified as most needing our attention. They are the Atlantic Salmon Gulf of Maine Distinct Population Segment (DPS), Central California Coast Coho Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU), Cook Inlet Beluga Whale DPS, Hawaiian Monk Seal, Pacific Leatherback Sea Turtle, Sacramento River Winter-run Chinook ESU, Southern Resident Killer Whale DPS, and White Abalone. They are notable because the best available information points to their extinction in the near future because of rapid population decline or habitat destruction. These are the species for which focused efforts are needed to mobilize human intervention to stabilize their population declines and prevent their extinction"--Page 6.
