My own opinion - this is not good news for the wild fish. If this stands, and I as I understand the case (not a lawyer, help me out here Todd), the 9th Circuit ruled that the Environmental groups that brought this appeal were found to not have standing because NMFS is still formulating their recovery plan mandated by the first Judge's ruling, then the Judiciary may have just sealed the doom of the wild fish. There is more to be said here, I'm just not sure where we go.
