The Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires a 5-year post-delisting monitoring process to be followed when a species is delisted from the ESA due to recovery. According to the NOAA Fisheries (n.d.) the gray whale population in the Eastern North Pacific, known as the Distinct Population Segment (DPS), was recognized as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1970. In 1994, it was a significant milestone when the Eastern North Pacific DPS was removed from the endangered list and declared as a recovered population.

Fully cite in-text all resources used to support the data and also provide a reference section at the end. 1. Fully describe in explicit detail the Information on the experimental design of the plan, such as: 1. What is the sampling unit being used (e.g., how many plots, points, etc)? 2. How were samples allocated (e.g., random, ad hoc, systematic, stratified, etc)? 3. When are samples being collected (e.g., frequency of plot visits, number of years involved, etc)? 4. What variables / pieces of information are being collected during field visits? 5. Are controls and replicates involved? If so, how many and how were they allocated? 6. Any other design components that seem relevant.
