Endangered Species Act

The Washington Department of Natural Resources Aquatics Program is in the process of developing a habitat conservation plan (HCP) for all state-owned aquatic lands for coverage under the Endangered Species Act.  DNR asked to meet with interested FHA members on July 23, to discuss how the agency can work with the FHA to establish conservation measures for floating homes in the HCP that will adequately deal with impact on covered species that use the aquatic habitat of Lake Union. A meeting was held as the FHA newsletter was going to press.
