MEMORANDUM OPINION
COLLYER, District Judge.
The Center for Biological Diversity (“Center”), a nonprofit corporation that endeavors to protect imperiled species and their habitats, submitted three requests to the National Marine Fisheries Service (“NMFS”) 1 for information about three coral species for which the Center had petitioned for protection as endangered species. NMFS released some documents and withheld or redacted others. The Center sues under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), 5 U.S.C. § 552, alleging that NMFS acted too slowly and withheld information it should have released.
