Species. This Stipulated Settlement Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Plaintiff Center for Biological Diversity (“Center”) and Defendants United States Fish and Wildlife Service (“FWS”); Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, in her official capacity as Secretary of the United States Department of Interior; and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, in her official capacity as Director of FWS, (collectively, “Defendants”), who, by and through their undersigned counsel, state as follows:
Species. The ICF reconciles the data of the recovery plan application with the data of the prior harvesting licence. Observations: Recovery plan: authorisation to harvest remnants of trees or by‑products resulting from the following authorisations: AOP, AFP, plantation certificates and rescue plans.
Species. During roadside checks, law enforcement agents verify that the contents of the load match the details on the waybill per vehicle. The ICF progressively reconciles the waybills per vehicle declared by the seller with the waybills per vehicle declared by the buyer using the reconciliation tools provided by the SIRMA. Observations: The waybill receives prior authorisation in the Revenue Administration System (SAR). The ICF, police, Attorney‑General’s Office and Honduran armed forces all participate in roadside checks.
Species. Xxxxxxx-fir • western larch • Western red cedar • Xxxxxxxxx spruce • Grand fir • Mixed species – dead
Species. Use a 4-letter code made up of the first 2 letters of the genus and species (e.g., Rana sylvatica would be RASY). ADULTS/JUVENILES: Indicate presence with a check, but numbers seen are more valuable data CALLING?: Circle Y if frogs are vocalizing in a breeding chorus, of if a breeding aggregation of species that don't call (e.g., Bufo boreas) is observed. TADPOLES/LARVAE: Same as for adults/juveniles EGG MASSES: Same as above. Numbers of egg masses are especially valuable data. If possible, describe the developmental stage of eggs in the space for additional notes on the back of the form. METHOD: Circle how observations were made: VISUAL/AURAL ID – species identified without picking it up, either by sight or by recognition of the breeding call; HAND COLLECTED – animal was picked up and identified in the field (higher confidence than visual id); DIP NET/SEINE – the usual method of collection for larvae; TRAPPED – minnow-type traps are also used for larvae; VOUCHER COLLECTED? – circle yes or no (voucher specimens are recommended for every site, especially if identification is uncertain and for larvae). Indicate voucher status in addition to method used. PHOTO?: Whether a photo of the specimen was taken for identification purposes. If a photo exisits (in any format) you may be asked for a copy or the original for scanning.
Species. Record all riparian herp species (target or non-target) detected during a survey in this column. Record non-riparian herpetofauna in the OTHER ORGANISMS and OTHER ORG. NOTES. If no species are observed, record “NONE.” Use the unique 4-letter Genus-species code or write out common or scientific name. for all riparian herp species. When an organism cannot be identified to species (e.g., "I saw a ranid-like frog", or "I saw an anuran egg mass"), use the 4-letter code corresponding to the taxonomic classification for which you are confident in your identification. For the examples above, the ranid-like frog would be assigned the code "RANA", and the egg mass would be coded as "ANUR". If you are confident you saw a leopard frog but are not certain which species you saw, use the code "RAPC." Do not use historic information to bias your decision on species identification. Record your most confident observation and justify it in the NOTES or COMMENTS. CERTAINTY: Circle 1 word to indicate your level of certainty about your identification of each species. Certainty of identification should be based on species-specific diagnostic characters (e.g., thigh pattern and dorsolateral folds in leopard frogs, scale row of lateral stripes in garter snakes, lack of dorsal stripe and cranial crests in New Mexico toads). For information on diagnostic characters of species, see the references listed in the survey protocol. LIFE STAGE: Circle the life stage of each species observed. Use separate rows for different life stages of the same species. A juvenile leopard frog is usually < 55 mm SVL, while an adult is > 55 mm SVL or exhibits obvious sign of breeding condition (e.g., swollen thumbpads, stretched vocal sacs) # OBSERVED: Enter the number of individuals of each species and life stage you encountered. Do not estimate total numbers within the survey area, but record only the number that you saw. For egg masses, estimate the number of eggs, note the overall size of mass, condition, and stage of embryos in the NOTES or COMMENTS sections (see Gosner 1960). NOTES: Record any relevant notes specific to the species or life stage observed. Types of observations to include are as follows: 1) what criteria were used to identify a species;
Species. 21. Pursuant to (i) the Reimbursable Agreement entered into between NCDOT and Wake County on January 5, 2018 and (ii) the Interagency Agreement entered into between NCDOT and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission on February 27, 2018, NCDOT has previously agreed to fund a maximum amount of Five Million and 0/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) to (i) construct and/or renovate the Xxxxx Mill Aquatic Conservation Center (“YMACC”) and (ii) fund the operations and maintenance of the North Carolina Non-Game Aquatic Species Program (“Program”) at the YMACC for up to five (5) years. NCDOT commits to fund the operations and maintenance of the Program for an additional five (5) years beyond the current commitment at a per annum rate of no more than Six Hundred Eight Thousand Two Hundred Twelve and 0/100 Dollars ($608,212.00).
Species. 4.1.8.1. The Debentures shall be collateral type, pursuant to the provisions of article 58, paragraph 2, of the Corporation Law, as described in Section 4.10 below.
Species. Ponderosa pine, Xxxxxxx xxx, western larch, white fir, Engexxxxx xxxuce, and lodgepole pine.
Species. This section draws heavily on, and essentially provides a summary of, the recent work undertaken by Xxxxxxxx et al. (2015) in compiling a situation assessment of the East African coast as part of the Resilient Coasts initiative. More localised information on the proposed TBCA area has been drawn from the documentation supporting the nomination of Pemba – Kisite – Shimoni, and the Tanga Coelacanth Marine Park as Ecological and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) under the global CBD methodology. Apart from the marine species making up habitats as discussed above, there are several groups that contain species of special importance that need to be mentioned in the context of the proposed TBCA, as they have been recorded, or are likely to occur, in the area. The criteria used to include these species are taken directly from Samoilys et al. (2015) and include some or all of the following: IUCN Red List; endemic to the WIO; known functional ecology in resilience; important food species for local fisheries; global rarity and aesthetic value; and vulnerable or resilient to climate change. Bony Fishes, Sharks and Rays Coelacanth One of the most notable fish in the region is the coelacanth, Latimeria chalumnae. Often referred to as a “living fossil fish”, its conservation status is considered endangered (CITES - Annex 1 species), and critically endangered (IUCN Red List). The coelacanth is the sole known remaining representative of a once widespread family of sarcopterygian (fleshy-finned) fish that were thought to have become extinct 70 million years ago. Two species of coelacanth are extant: the WIO species Latimeria chalumnae, and an Indonesian species, L. menadoensis, which is less widely distributed. Coelacanths are commonly found on sloping continental shelves. Initial reports suggested they occurred at depths of 300–400 m in sheltering caves and canyons that provided habitat for their prey. They have been sighted in the submarine canyons of the east and west coasts of the Mozambique Channel; the steep volcanic slopes of Comoros; areas off the northern Mozambique coastline; and off the coast of northern South Africa. More recently they have been seen in much shallower depths of 75–100 m on the upper slopes of Pemba Channel canyons around Tanga (Samoilys et al, 2015).
