On December 7, 2012, NOAA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register (77 FR 73219) in response to a petition submitted by the Center for Biological Diversity tolist 83 reef-building coral species as threatened or endangered under the ESA。NOAA得出的结论是，在濒临灭绝（5个加勒比海和7个印度 - 太平洋）中列出的12个请愿书保证书，54种珊瑚物种保证为受威胁的列出（2个加勒比海和52个印度 - 太平洋）和16种珊瑚物种（所有印度 - 太平洋）不要保证在ESA下列出威胁或濒危的列表。NOAA还确定，目前有两个加勒比海珊瑚物种从威胁到濒危的危险中列出了认股权证重新分类。
Due to the broad regulatory powers granted under the ESA, the proposed listing could very well关闭水族馆进口，销售或所有Acropora的贸易，蒙蒂托拉，，，，Euphyllia和其他珊瑚，而不仅仅是列出的物种。拟议的上市将使no distinctionbetween “wild collected,” “maricultured” or “aquacultured” corals.
In other words, the proposed listing may very well prohibit and criminalize the transport and trade of allAcroporaandEuphylliaspecies, (whether wild -collected, maricultured or captive-propagated, including those existing in hobbyists’ aquariums at the time the regulation goes into effect), included those traded at frag swaps or between individual hobbyists, but may also prohibit moving one of these corals from one tank to another, or even taking a colony out of an existing aquarium for treatment, ect., and replacing it in the same aquarium.
Again, the way the ESA is enforced, there is a significant possibility that the proposed listing would be enforced, in effect, as to all corals in the respective genera, including all corals in theAcropora，Montipora，Euphyllia，Caulastrea，Pocillopora，Porities，Pavona，Pavona，Pectina，PachyserisandSeriatopragenera.
The proposed listing is not appropriate for multiple reasons, but perhaps the most evident is that there is no scientific data, or substantially incomplete data, to list these species. There is insufficient data to establish that prohibiting collection and trade of these corals would positively impact the species. Also, NOAA and the National Marine Fisheries Service did not consider what impact the listing would have on these corals and coral reefs generally as a result of destruction of the trade on a local level, and the attendant resumption of destructive fishing practices and other deleterious activities by local populations.
