Strombus gigas) as a threatened species under the ESA. They have completed a comprehensive status review for the queen conch. After considering the status review report, and after taking into account efforts being made to protect the species, they have determined that the queen conch is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout its range. Therefore, they propose to list the queen conch as a threatened species under the ESA. Any protective regulations determined to be necessary and advisable for the conservation of the queen conch under ESA would be proposed in a subsequent Federal Register announcement. They solicit information to assist this listing determination, the development of proposed protective regulations, and designation of critical habitat within U.S jurisdiction.
