NMFS does move slowly in meeting check points in these ESA listings.

Nearly everyone agrees that the biggest driver in limiting Puget Sound steelhead has been habitat lost. It took NMFS until 2013 to list proposed critical habitat for Puget Sound steelhead and until early in 2014 adopt the formal critical habitat for steelhead.

Doesn't let WDFW off the hook but does make one wonder.
