I have no idea how this things going to settle out. But I'm hoping that it forces the feds and states to step back and take a commonsense look at their socalled restoration efforts. I'm all for restoration but not the way they're approaching it. Examples: $600,000 for estuarine restoration that will increase wild fish about 2 to 3 dozen per year; or how about $5 mill to restore the ecosystem back to what it was 200 years ago in an estuary where there is no listed stocks? There's something definitely wrong. How about buying out property ownership if an entire town and paying to relocte them? It's in writing as part of a recovery plan! Maybe someone else neds to be in charge of how restoration is determined and funded?
