Individuals planning to conduct any activity that may "take" (harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect) a threatened or endangered species must possess a permit to perform that activity. Section 10 of the ESA allows the NOAA Fisheries to issue permits for scientific purposes or to enhance the propagation or survival of listed species. "Section 10" permits may also be issued to entities engaging in otherwise lawful activities that may incidentally take a listed species. To allow sufficient time for evaluation and processing, and to ensure the timely issuance of a permit (should one be granted), individuals are urged to apply at least four months prior to the start of proposed activities.
Each permit application must include a conservation plan; a Hatchery and Genetic Management Plan (HGMP) can be used to serve as or to supplement a conservation plan. Applications for Section 10 permits as well as Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about ESA permits are available online at the NOAA Fisheries Office of Protected Resources. (For more information on HGMPs, visit http://www.nwr.noaa.gov/1hgmp/.)
