Delta fish slaughter a tragedy

Coalition response...At a time when everyone is clamoring for science to guide the way to a solution for the Delta, some have decided to ignore the biologists and claim the Delta pumps need to be restricted to preserve the splittail. Yet, biologists have concluded that the splittail is not deserving of protection under the Endangered Species Act. If we are going to ignore science-based decisions, any chance of finding real solutions to the bigger problems in the Delta is unlikely.

Coalition response...This writer continues to add a new twist to his daily post to keep this non-story in front of his readers. He now criticizes both the Bush and Obama administrations for preventing the splittail from being protected under the Endangered Species Act. To have biologists from both these administrations denying the protection status provides a convincing argument against coverage under the ESA. If we are going to ignore science-based decisions, any chance of finding real solutions to the bigger problems in the Delta is unlikely.
