This may not have as much of an effect on things as the proponents may like...because hatchery programs and fisheries still have to comply with the ESA. The HSRG did comply with the ESA, and getting rid of it doesn't get rid of the ESA, it just gets rid of an ESA-compliant tool.

Ignoring the ESA will just result in very easy low-hanging-fruit lawsuits from the NGOs.

Fish on...
