We've officially put the US Fish & Wildlife Service on notice of our intent to sue for violating the #EndangeredSpeciesAct.

The agency proposed listing the SF Bay-Delta population of longfin smelt as an endangered species, but has failed to meet its deadline.

“The Fish and Wildlife Service needs to do its job and stick to the legal deadlines,” said Baykeeper's managing attorney, Eric Buescher. “As the Bay’s lawyers, Baykeeper is going to hold them accountable.”
