Description:
Section 2 of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA) requires federal agencies to consult with NOAA Fisheries on any proposed water development project that is undertaken or authorized by them. This consultation procedure is to promote conservation, protection, and enhancement of fish and wildlife resources in connection with water resource development. Coordination and consultation under the FWCA is expected to be concurrent with the EFH consultation process and the issuance of the DEIS by the USACE.
