    In accordance with a memorandum from President Donald J. Trump, a final rule about the pillar coral (Dendrogyra cylindrus) being reclassified from threatened to endangered has had its effective date delayed. This delay moves the enforcement of the rule to March 21, 2025. The action is intended to provide time for reviewing the rule to address any questions of fact, law, and policy. The National Marine Fisheries Service, under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is responsible for implementing this decision.

    Simple Explanation

    The rules about protecting a special type of coral are being delayed to make sure everything in the rule is correct. Some grown-ups need more time to look at the details and ask questions to make sure they're doing the right thing for the coral and the environment.

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has reclassified the pillar coral (Dendrogyra cylindrus) from "threatened" to "endangered" under the Endangered Species Act. This change is based on concerns about the coral's risk of extinction due to factors like ocean warming, disease, and habitat damage. The reclassification aims to provide enhanced protection and conservation efforts to prevent the coral's extinction. This decision was made following a 5-year review, expert opinions, and public comments, concluding that the coral is in danger throughout its range.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of protecting animals and plants decided that the pillar coral, which is like a living rock in the ocean, is now in more danger of disappearing forever because of things like warm water and sickness. So, they're going to try harder to keep it safe and happy in its ocean home.
