Just saw a notice in the PA paper that WFC et al has filed a notice of intent to sue on the Elwha (again). It seems that that the ESA approval to use hatchery fish in recovery is supposed to include a rack on the river to filter out hatchery fish.

Apparently, the rack sits on the bank where it doesn't filter well.

This seems to be kept awfully quiet as nothing has showed up here, my contacts at WDFW had heard nothing. Anybody here heard anything?
