  State           T&E Protections under State Law

  Connecticut     **Act prohibits the taking of an endangered or
                  threatened species for the purposed of selling,
                  offering for sale, transporting for commercial gain or
                  export. The Federal Endangered Species Act applies to
                  federal endangered and federal threatened species, and
                  supersedes the Connecticut Endangered Species Act for
                  these species. Potential impacts to federally listed
                  species may require additional consultation with the
                  USFWS**

  Georgia         **species are listed as endangered, threatened, rare or
                  unusual and are given this status under the Georgia
                  Endangered wildlife Act of 1973.**

  Maine           **unlawful to "hunt, take or trap" any endangered or
                  threatened species without a permit issued for specific
                  action by the commissioner or the state of Maine.**

  Maryland        **state law defines "take" similar to ESA; endangered
                  and threatened categories have protections against
                  "take".**

  Massachusetts   **"take" defined similar to ESA; threatened,
                  endangered, and "special concern" categories have equal
                  protections against "take".**

  New Hampshire   **unlawful for any person to take, possess, transport
                  or sell wildlife deemed by the executive director to be
                  in need of conservation pursuant to this section**

  New Jersey      **unlawful to "take" any endangered species of fish or
                  wildlife; "take" defined similar to ESA; no exemptions
                  or permits to allow for incidental take.**

  New York        **endangered and threatened categories have protections
                  against "take"; "special concern" category has no
                  special additional protection.**

  North Carolina  **\"Take\" includes all operations during, immediately
                  preparatory and immediately subsequent to an attempt,
                  whether successful or not, to capture, kill, pursue,
                  hunt or otherwise harm or reduce to possession any
                  fisheries resources or wildlife resources. It is
                  unlawful to "take" any endangered or threatened species
                  of fish or wildlife.**

  Pennsylvania    **endangered and threatened categories have protections
                  against "take."**

  Tennessee       **unlawful to take, possess, transport, export or ship
                  any endangered or threatened species without permit;
                  regulations allow provisions for "take" to alleviate
                  damage and to protect human health and safety.**

  Vermont         **unlawful to "take" any endangered or threatened
                  species without the issuance of a permit; "take" not
                  specifically defined; state law includes all federally
                  listed species as state listed.**

  Virginia        **unlawful to "take" any endangered or threatened
                  species of fish or wildlife; "take" defined same as
                  federal ESA; no exemptions or permits to allow for
                  incidental take.**

  West Virginia   **only lists federal T&E species as having protections;
                  "Species of Concern" are listed, but have no legal
                  status other than those that are already federally
                  listed.**
