Pahsimeroi endangered fish

Current Status: 
Pending
Case Title and Number: 
Western Watersheds Project v. Rosenkrance, No. 09-cv-532 (D. Idaho)
Date Filed: 
10/16/2009

The Pahsimeroi Valley contains key habitat for three species of Endangered Species Act-listed fish: bull trout, chinook salmon, and steelhead. Yet BLM and Forest Service have not conducted monitoring and habitat improvements as required by their own ESA consultation, which is now very outdated. Their failure to meet fish habitat requirements or to consult over changed conditions violates the ESA, and perpetuates degraded habitat conditions in the Pahsimeroi.
