Is the Federal review process the same as that used by the State of Florida or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico ?
A13: No, while we may have looked at similar or even identical literature and data, the context within which that information is assessed and analyzed is significantly different. While we have made a recommendation to reclassify the West Indian manatee to threatened, similar to the state of Florida ‘s decision, the criteria that the state uses to evaluate conservation status is different than the federal process. Also, unlike Florida ‘s current formal rulemaking process, our five-year review is not a decision document or formal rulemaking proposal. These are two distinctly different and separate processes. In the case of Antillean manatee, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has not conducted an independent status review for that subspecies.
