The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is kicking off mandatory 5-year status reviews for three species under the Endangered Species Act: the Eskimo curlew, spectacled eider, and the Southwest Alaska distinct population segment of the northern sea otter. These reviews assess whether each species' listing status should be changed based on the best available scientific data, and the agency's requesting any new relevant information from the public and researchers. Conservation professionals, researchers, and anyone with new data on these species' populations, habitat, or threats should take note of the comment opportunity.

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are initiating 5-year status reviews under the Endangered Species Act for the Eskimo curlew, spectacled eider, and Southwest Alaska distinct population segment of the northern sea otter. A 5-year status review is based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review; therefore, we are requesting submission of any new information on these species that has become available since the last reviews.
