These permits, which include renewals and new requests, aim to aid conservation efforts by enhancing understanding of fish under the Endangered Species Act. The proposed studies utilize methods such as electrofishing and tagging to gather data on fish habitats, population dynamics, and migration, with no intentional harm intended to the fish. Public comments on the applications are invited until March 18, 2021.

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has received a permit renewal application from the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District to continue their efforts in rescuing and caring for the endangered steelhead fish in the Carmel River, California.

The public can review and comment on this application until April 28, 2025.
