Three and a half years, my ass. I was contracted to start work on this starting in 2003. You do the math. Everybody involved in this should be spanked.


OK then, after 11 1/2 years . . .

The upshot is that the DEIS is already out of date, and there doesn't appear to be a path forward where it ever becomes up to date as HGMPs continue to change.


How about a bit of soothsaying as to where you see this "can't get there from here" situation going given the lawsuit settlement time constraints, ESA listings, ever changing HGMPs, and NOAA/NMFS budgets?

Is Chicken Little right this time?
