NRM Special Status Species Fact Sheets

Across USACE's projects there are over 300 unique, federally listed species for which conservation concerns exist. A goal of the NRM Program is to maintain a factsheet for each species reported annually through the NRM Assessment and for those in which special conservation efforts at lake and river projects are ongoing.

These factsheets are intended to complement the Threatened and Endangered Species Team (TEST) initiative by highlighting unique project efforts and promote collaboration. TEST works to accelerate the development of solutions for threatened and endangered species issue that will improve budget planning capabilities and operational flexibility to reduce future costs and adverse impacts to USACE mission execution.
