Section 182.6 - Recovery plans and restoration plans

(a) Recovery plans. The department may, at its discretion, prepare and adopt a recovery plan for any species listed in this Part. A recovery plan will set forth goals and objectives to foster the continued survival, recovery, and eventual de-listing of the species, and will also include the most current information on the biology, needs, management of and threats to the species. Recovery plans are not required, but may be adopted by the department when sufficient information is available on any particular listed species, especially when such information might be helpful in identifying and recommending conservation measures that will aid in the recovery of the species.

(b) Restoration plans. The department may, at its discretion, prepare and adopt a restoration plan for any extirpated species. A restoration plan will include current biological information on the species, a discussion of its historical status in New York, an analysis of past, present and future threats and habitat conditions, response to management, and steps necessary for reestablishment of the species in the State.
