Draft Priority Habitat map viewer and public comment form

In accordance with the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA), M.G.L. c. 131A , and its implementing regulations (321 CMR 10.00), the Division of Fisheries & Wildlife is holding a sixty (60) day comment period (August 5, 2026 to October 4, 2026) for the public to review and submit comments on a proposed updated version of the Priority Habitat map.

The Draft Priority Habitat map viewer and public comment form is an online mapping service which allows a point to be associated with a comment. This map allows you to zoom into a location using the zoom tool or by entering a street address.  You can then map a point and enter a comment which will be sent to MassWildlife for consideration. Be sure to click the "Submit" button once you've entered your comment. For alternative ways of submitting comments, and general information, please visit our draft Priority Habitat map public comment period page.
