Sacramento Area Office
Located in Sacramento, California, the Sacramento Area Office is situated in the heart
of Californias great Central Valley, only a few blocks from the California State
Capitol. Staff within the Sacramento Area Office include fishery biologists, ecologists,
and natural resource specialists. The Sacramento Area Offices region of
responsibility includes the Sacramento and San Joaquin River Basins, Sacramento-San
Joaquin Delta, and Suisun Bay.
Protected Resources Division (PRD) staff within the Sacramento Area Office assist staff
from other federal and state agencies and the public with their obligation to comply with
the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (MSA). Staff evaluate the effects of proposed actions on anadromous fishes
listed as endangered or threatened under the ESA, designated critical habitat of these
species, and essential fish habitat (EFH) described under the MSA. This process occurs
under section 7 (inter-federal agency consultation) or section 10(a)(1)(B) (Habitat
Conservation Planning program) of the ESA, or section 305(b) of the MSA (inter-federal
agency consultation).
