Officially Listed as Endangered, Sturgeon Are on the Slow Way Back. January 31, 2012 Brad Sewell. Our oceans are home to any number of remarkable, even bizarre, creatures. Today, one of the countryâs largestâthe Atlantic sturgeonâhas officially been protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
The Delaware River provides critical habitat to New Jerseyâs only endangered fish species â the shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum). It can be found throughout the Delaware River estuary, occasionally entering the nearshore ocean off Delaware Bay. In the U.S., this species occupies estuaries, tidal rivers and bays along the Atlantic Coast from New Brunswick Canada to the St. John River in Florida. It is the smallest of three sturgeon species to occur in the eastern portion of North America.
