The Trump administration is declining to list as threatened or endangered three populations of Chinook salmon that could conflict with logging, mining, and other development in southeast Alaska, according to a Wednesday notice.
The decision reverses a Biden administration recommendation that the salmon be protected under the Endangered Species Act. It also comes after the Trump administration in March exempted oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico from ESA requirements.
Fisherman can’t bribe as well as miners and small fisherman will go bankrupt. That’s the relatively better news, broadly there will be no food because the ecosystem is crashing.
