Final Environmental Assessment for San Nicolas Island Seabird Restoration Project
Released to the Public
The U.S. Navy-owned San Nicolas Island, located off the coast of southern
California, is important nesting habitat for seabirds and is also home to the
State threatened island fox. Currently, feral cats introduced to San Nicolas
Island prey on native seabirds, an endemic deer mouse, and the federally
threatened island night lizard.
The Final Environmental Assessment (EA) outlines the potential environmental
effects relating to the removal of feral cats from San Nicolas Island. The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service and the Department of the Navy both signed Findings
of No Significant Impact (FONSI) documents that accompany the Final EA and
support the implementation of this project. Full implementation is projected to
begin in 2009.
Posted below is the Final EA, both FONSI documents, a fact sheet, and a
Frequently Asked Questions document. If you have any questions, please contact
Jane Hendron or Annie Little of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at
