Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on a lawsuit challenging the state of Maine's salmon conservation plan filed last week by the Washington-based Defenders of Wildlife and joined by the Biodiversity Legal Foundation of Boulder, Colo; Conservation Action Project (CAP) of Concord, N.H.; Coastal Waters Project of Rockland; and the Forest Ecology Network (FEN) of Augusta. Activist Jonathan Carter of FEN said the state's plan is inadequate, and David Carle, executive director of CAP, wants the Atlantic Salmon protected under the Endangered Species Act because federal agencies have found the species is threatened with extinction in the near future. With a related article about what's missing from the state plan.
