Bush administration cuts protections for Pacific salmon habitat

 

In a move it says reaffirms its " commitment to salmon recovery, " the Bush

administration on Friday slashed critical habitat for Pacific salmon facing

extinction. The National Marine Fisheries Service announced that federal

protection for salmon habitat in California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington would

be cut from 167,700 miles of river to 33,300 miles -- encompassing only

waterways that the 19 listed species of threatened and endangered salmon use

today, rather than their historic range. The feds agreed to revise the scope of

the habitat designation in response to a lawsuit filed by the home-construction

industry and property-rights advocates, which claimed that the economic impacts

of the earlier designation hadn't been assessed. Eco-advocates say this

demonstrates the Bush administration's desire to gut the Endangered Species Act.
