321 CMR - DIVISION OF FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE
Title 321 CMR 10.00 - Massachusetts Endangered Species Act
Part V - Species List, Designated Significant Habitats
Section 10.90 - List of Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern Species

Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

(1) Introduction. The list in 321 CMR 10.90 contains the names of all species of plants and animals which have been determined to be Endangered, Threatened, or of Special Concern pursuant to M.G.L. c. 131A, and 321 CMR 10.03.

(2) List Format. The columns entitled "Common Name" and "Scientific Name" define the species listed. In the "Status" columns the following symbols are used: "E" for Endangered, "T" for Threatened, and "SC" for Special Concern. The status defined under the "MA" column denotes the official status of the species in Massachusetts pursuant to M.G.L. C.131A and 321 CMR 10.00. The status under the "US" column is the status of the species under the federal Endangered Species Act at the time of the latest revision of 321 CMR 10.00 and is given for informational purposes only. Recent changes in the federal list might not be reflected in 321 CMR 10.90. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service should be consulted for official and up to date information on the federal status of any species. Inquiries may be made by writing to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 70 Commercial Street, Suite 300, Concord, NH 03301-5087. The "Taxonomic Group" column of the list is included for the purpose of organization. The "Notes" column directs the reader to footnotes which further define or clarify the status of a species or alternative names of species.

(3) Organization of the List. The list is generally organized according to the relationship of the listed species as determined by the science of taxonomy, which groups and categorizes species that are similar on the basis of shared evolutionary descent. The most basic division in the list is between animals and plants. Within animals the list is divided between vertebrates (animals with backbones) and invertebrates (animals without backbones). Within vertebrates and invertebrates, the list is further divided into categories which are generally recognized, such as fish, mammals, and dragonflies. All such information has no regulatory effect and is provided only for the purpose of organizing the list. The following outline shows the taxonomic categories used and their order.
