On October 23, 2024, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced an extension of the comment period for their proposed rule filed on July 25, 2024, to apply protective regulations to ten species of giant clams under the Endangered Species Act. The original proposed rule states that critical habitat for the giant clams “is not yet determinable.”
Comments are now due February 19, 2025.
