Bush Pulls Back Salmon Protections |

The Bush government has proven it reputation on protection of wild life yet again! The Bush administration agreed Monday to rescind habitat protections for 19 endangered West Coast salmon runs in a move environmentalists said could signal a further retreat in protecting the fish. The decision could affect an estimated 150 watersheds, rivers, bays and estuaries in Washington, Oregon, California and Idaho, including Puget Sound and the Columbia and Snake rivers.(12-Mar-02) Tacoma News Tribune |
