Table of Contents

About Active and Archived Biological Opinions

An "active" Biological Opinion is currently in effect - typically an action that is ongoing or expected to begin soon. An "archived" Biological Opinion is for an action that has been completed, is no longer planned, or for an ongoing project, has been replaced by a Biological Opinion in the "active" list.  A list of these biological opinions can be found below.

Environmental Consultation Organizer (ECO) System

ECO Webpage_0.JPG

NOAA Fisheries has just replaced the old online Public Consultation Tracking System (PCTS) with the new Environmental Consultation Organizer (ECO) system. ECO is a web-based query system that allows all federal agencies, project managers, permit applicants, consultants, and the general public to find the current status of NOAA Fisheries’ Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultations that are being conducted (or have been completed) pursuant to ESA Section 7 and Magnuson Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Access to these documents is free and available to all. You will need to use your CAC card or request an account to log into ECO.

How to Locate a Consultation

Active Biological Opinions (including fisheries and non-fisheries actions) can be found in the NOAA Repository by typing in the ECO number (i.e., GARFO-2019-12345) or by clicking on the links below. Alternatively, you can search for the consultation on doi.org, by typing in the DOI number. You can retrieve the DOI or ECO number by searching for the project in ECO.

Note: If you are unable to locate an individual consultation or related documents in ECO or the NOAA Repository, please send an email to NMFS.Historic.Consultations@noaa.gov.
