Contents of the Draft Recovery Plan
The Draft Recovery Plan presents
NMFS’ proposed recovery goal,
objectives, and criteria, which, when
met, would allow the giant manta ray to
be delisted. The proposed demographic
and threats-based recovery objectives
and criteria are based on the listing
factors found in the ESA section 4(a)(1).
The proposed demographic and threatsbased recovery objectives and criteria
for the giant manta ray address threats
from significant population declines,
targeted catch in artisanal/small-scale
fisheries, bycatch-related mortality in
artisanal/small-scale and commercial
fisheries, international trade of its gill
plates, inadequate regulatory
mechanisms, and illegal retention and
enforcement issues. Additionally, it
identifies stressors that should be
monitored for potential future impact,
such as climate change. The Draft
Recovery Plan also describes specific
information on the following: current
status of the giant manta ray, threats that
have contributed to the species’ decline,
recovery strategies to address the
threats, and site-specific recovery
actions with timelines. Finally, the Draft
Recovery Plan estimates the time and
costs required to implement recovery
actions.
The Draft Recovery Implementation
Strategy provides specific, prioritized
activities necessary to implement fully
recovery actions in the Draft Recovery
Plan. This stepped-down approach will
afford us the ability to modify these
activities efficiently to reflect changes in
the information available as well as
progress towards recovery.

How NMFS and Others Expect To Use
the Plan
In addition to continuing to carry out
actions already underway, such as
satellite and acoustic tag deployment
and analysis, genetic sampling, and
other research activities designed to
improve our understanding of manta ray
distribution, abundance, and population
connectivity, we have begun
implementation of other actions
described in the Draft Recovery Plan.
For example, we are currently providing
domestic education and training
programs for fishermen to enhance safe
handling of giant manta rays and
providing the public with outreach
messaging to reduce harm and increase
awareness of giant manta rays. In
addition, we anticipate reviewing
whether additional protective
regulations under section 4(d) of the
ESA may be appropriate to provide for
the conservation of the giant manta ray
in U.S. waters. After public comment

and the adoption of the Recovery Plan,
our intention is to implement the
actions and activities for which we have
authority and funding; encourage other
international, Federal, State, and local
agencies to implement recovery actions
and activities for which they have
responsibility, authority, and funding;
and work cooperatively with the public
and local stakeholders on
implementation of other recovery
actions and activities. We expect the
Recovery Plan to guide us and other
Federal agencies in evaluating Federal
actions under ESA section 7, as well as
in implementing other provisions of the
ESA.
We are soliciting written comments
on the Draft Recovery Plan. All
substantive comments received by the
date specified above will be considered
and incorporated, as appropriate, prior
to our decision on whether to approve
this Recovery Plan. While we invite
comments on all aspects of the Draft
Recovery Plan, we are particularly
interested in comments on the proposed
objectives, criteria, and actions, as well
as comments on the estimated time and
cost of recovery actions and activities.
In addition, the ESA requires that we
conduct a review of listed species at
least once every five years. This will be
the first review of this species pursuant
to this provision of the ESA since it was
listed in 2018 under the ESA. The
regulations in 50 CFR 424.21 require
that we publish a notice in the Federal
Register announcing species currently
under active review. On the basis of
such reviews, we determine under the
ESA 4(c)(2)(B) whether any species
should be removed from the list (i.e.,
delisted) or reclassified from
endangered to threatened or from
threatened to endangered (16 U.S.C.
1533(c)(2)(B)). Any change in federal
classification would require a separate
rulemaking process.
To ensure that the 5-year review is
complete and based on the best
available scientific and commercial
information, we are soliciting new
information from the public,
governmental agencies, Tribes, the
scientific community, industry,
environmental entities, and any other
interested parties concerning the status
of the giant manta ray. Comments and
information submitted will be
considered in the 5-year review, as
applicable.
