Incidental Take Forecast

The official definition of take includes the attempt or action to “harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect” threatened and endangered species. Take may occur incidentally; meaning that take is “incidental to, and not the purpose of, the carrying out of an otherwise lawful activity.”
