Summary - NWMB {slider Introduction|closed}

The Purpose of this NWMB written hearing is to publicly consider the proposed listing of Red Knot-rufa subspecies as an endangered species under the federal Species at Risk.

That Proposal, along with other documents comprising the best available information to date, is available for review or download from the NWMB’s website.
