Content Notes:

The document "OPR-2024-02209 Addendum 2026- Queen Conch Take.pdf" corrects a mathematical conversion error regarding queen conch density that had artificially inflated the estimated exposed population and subsequent mortality estimates by a factor of 10. This significant decrease in calculated exposure formally reduces the exempted incidental take levels and reinforces the Biological Opinion's original conclusion that the activities will not appreciably reduce the species' likelihood of survival and recovery
