First off, the WSC's involvement in anything to do with this case is limited to reading the papers to see what's happening...

The end-of-the-road situation if PLF continues on this path and is successful is either;

1. Neither hatchery or wild fish will be listed, wild fish will go extinct, development will continue unchecked on water and habitat issues, which will not be stopped by those pesky wild fish and the ESA. Believe it or not, hatchery fish need these things, too, it's just not against the law to take them away from hatchery fish.

2. Both will be listed, hatchery production, which is detrimental to true wild fish, will be halted to protect the wild fish, there will be no fishing.

Duroboat, you continue to show your ignorance when you both say things that are obviously untrue, or clearly not thought out at all. You'd do well to put a little bit of thought into what opinions you hold and what you write about them.

Do you want to see the hatcheries closed?
Do you want to see the habitat trashed even more?
Do you care if the wild fish go extinct?

Ask yourself those questions about this issue before you jump into your anti-environment dancin' shoes and hit the dance floor.

This decision, taken to PLF's desired end, is the worse thing that could ever happen to listed fish, and for sportfishermen. The only goals they have are focused on more trees being cut, lower water quality standards, and making more $$ because of those things.

How could that ever possibly good for anyone except themselves?

Fish on...
