Tossing out the National Marine Fisheries Service’s “opinion” based on flawed scientific data- U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England in Sacramento – My New Hero

A federal agency will have to start from scratch on a new biological opinion on  Yuba River fish restoration following a court ruling that effectively scrapped  the report. The opinion, put forth by the federal Fisheries Service on how to restore  endangered fish runs on the Yuba River, included options of removing Englebright  and Daguerre Point dams. But Water Agency officials maintained the opinion was based on flawed scientific  data. A Fisheries Service spokesman could not be reached Thursday for comment. [email protected]
