Biological Opinion (BiOp) Efforts
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in partnership with Tribal Nations, states and other agencies, continue to work together to develop and implement recovery actions. These actions are in response to meeting the requirements laid out in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's 2000 Biological Opinion (BiOp), amended in 2003.
