Description:A 5-year review is a periodic analysis of a species’ status conducted to ensure that the listing classification of a species currently listed as threatened or endangered on the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (List) (50 CFR 17.11 – 17.12) is accurate. The 5-year review is required by section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA) and was prepared pursuant to the joint National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s 5-year Review Guidance and Template (NMFS and USFWS 2018). The NMFS Office of Protected Resources (OPR) conducted the 5-year review. We updated information from the status review (Manning, 2014) based on peer-reviewed publications, government and technical reports, theses, and personal communications. We gathered information through July 2020. The information on the dusky sea snake (Aipysurus fuscus) biology and habitat, threats, and conservation efforts was summarized and analyzed based on ESA section 4(a)(1) factors (see Section 2.3) to determine whether a reclassification or delisting may be warranted (see Section 3.0).
