To jeopardize the continued existence of a listed species definition
To jeopardize the continued existence of a listed species means to engage in an action that would be expected, directly or indirectly, to reduce appreciably the likelihood of both the survival and recovery of a listed species in the wild by reducing the reproduction, numbers, or distribution of that species (50 CFR 402.02). As NMFS explained when it promulgated this definition, NMFS considers the likely impacts to a species’ survival as well as likely impacts to its recovery. Further, it is possible that in certain, exceptional circumstances, injury to recovery alone may result in a jeopardy biological opinion (51 FR 19926, 19934).

This BO examines whether projects and activities implemented that are likely to adversely affect the NLEB, but would not cause take prohibited under the final 4(d) rule , are likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the NLEB.

This combined formal conference/consultation examines whether the activities associated with proposed removal of Harms Mill Dam in the Elk River is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the boulder darter, Alabama lampmussel, slabside pearlymussel, cracking pearlymussel, rabbitsfoot, snuffbox, shiny pigtoe, longsolid, Tennessee pigtoe, and Tennessee clubshell.

This biological opinion does not rely on the regulatory definition of 'destruction or adverse modification' of critical habitat at 50 C.F.R.
