I missed this AP article in my local paper a few weeks ago.

FEDERAL AGENCY ASKS FOR EXTENSION ON SALMON PLAN by Matthew Daly

The article states that NOAA-F is requesting a 6 month extension on its revised salmon recovery plan. The original deadline of June 2 was set by US District Judge James Redden. There was inuendo that the move was driven by those seeking to postpone the politically sensitive issue until after the Nov 2 election.

Not exactly sure what the implications are for the debate on this thread, but a delay would certainly give conservation groups a little more time to mount an organized challenge, and each of you to personally contact key decision makers. So far I've only gotten one request for their e-mail addresses. Come on, we can do better!

Keep the Faith!
