The following is a press release issued by the Center for Biological Diversity:
....In response to a 2012 petition by the Center for Biological Diversity, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today proposed to protect the Clear Lake hitch — a large minnow found only in Northern California’s Clear Lake and its tributaries — as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.

sounds like a “The Tango Grift” church to me , jmho ymmv.
The only thing I miss about California is Mendocino County. Boonville, Philo, Hendy Woods, so beautiful.
Ever wonder where these outfits get the idea of suing over some fish? Easy, from the people they’re suing.
For those wondering, Clear Lake isn’t clear. Not by a long shot.
more for the “ endangered “ grifters , a never ending list of “ endangered”.
Climate Law Institute: Saving Life on Earth

Specifically, the Climate Law Institute:
• Brings precedent-setting litigation using existing environmental laws
Strategic, creative litigation
• Mobilization of people power and movement building
• Visionary, effective policy advocacy
MILESTONES
The Center’s climate program has:
• Won the first Endangered Species Act listing for global warming-threatened species — the staghorn and elkhorn corals found off the Florida coast.
• Forced the George W. Bush administration to publicly acknowledge for the first time, in 2006, the scientific connection between greenhouse gas emissions and species endangerment in response to our petition to gain Endangered Species Act protection for polar bears.
• Won a key 2007 victory on greenhouse gas vehicle emissions when the nation’s highest court sided with our coalition and struck down the Environmental Protection Agency’s refusal to regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant under the Clean Air Act.
• In 2007 won a landmark case challenging federal suppression of climate science. Under the Global Change Research Act of 1990, we argued that the Bush administration must complete a research plan and scientific assessment of climate change impacts in the United States. The court agreed, ordering the government to produce the overdue reports by May 2008.
• Won a key 2008 legal victory requiring the Department of Transportation to fully analyze climate change when setting fuel economy standards for the nation’s passenger car fleet, and to factor the economic cost of climate damage (“social cost of carbon”) when using an economic model to set the standard.
• Won an ongoing moratorium on federal oil and gas leasing in California in 2011 and through additional legal victories.
• Along with Californians Against Fracking and many local partners, banned fracking in numerous California communities while building momentum for a statewide ban.
• Overturned the EPA’s free pass to the biomass energy industry in a key 2013 legal victory.
• Pioneered the need for greenhouse gas analysis in California Environmental Quality Act reviews and won a 2015 California Supreme Court victory setting out the need for meaningful analysis and mitigation.
• Filed the petition and lawsuits that led to the EPA’s landmark 2016 finding under the Clean Air Act that greenhouse pollution from airplanes endangers our health and climate.
• Along with 350.org, petitioned the EPA to set a national, science-based pollution cap of 350 ppm for CO2 under the Clean Air Act.
• Slapped down the Trump administration’s attempt to suppress an important national scientific review of the state of the climate.

its a grifter industry.
It appears unfit to survive. Shouldn’t it be allowed to go extinct in peace?
True. However, once, for a few days in the Spring of ‘75, it was remarkably clear. As in ‘Clearly see the bottom 10 feet down and all the fishes swimming around” clear. It was quite amazing.
Also, it’s believed by most limnologists to be perhaps the oldest lake in North America. Some even think it might be the oldest on the planet. Geology in the area is such that the lake’s bottom has been dropping over time, preventing it from turning into a giant meadow. Beautiful country, and a beautiful lake, both pretty much thrashed.
Somehow Philo became hip. Wish it hadn't.
The endangered species act should be an edangered species of bureaucrats, without life support.
NO. Not if it keeps California from using the water as it sees fit.
CBD is one of the worst, among many. What is especially tragic is that the remedial measures they advocate are so often destructive to biodiversity.
Do you speak Boontling?
I caught my first fish in Clear Lake circa ‘55.
No idea what it was.
No, but I did meet the guy that spoke boontling on the Johnny Carson show, he lived down off Gschwin Road, little guy, funny as heck.
If there ever was a misnomer it is”clear lake”. I can’t think of a more disgusting lake. Visited many times during the 80s on business. Very poor area, I think the trailers residents were cooking meth. The lake had no constant source of flow, just collecting rain water, which turned to green slime during the warmer months. Not recommended.
Two of these fish have been declared "endangered" and have had billions of dollars in human suffering expended in their "preservation."
The other is as common as dirt, lives in the exact same areas, and I'll bet 99.9% of Kalifornians can't tell them apart.
It's all a scam - not to help the fish - but to help politicians' and bureaucrats acquire more power.
Retired and left the west coast 6 years ago, would love to take a road trip and do my typical stop at Lemons Market on the way up to Clow Ridge.
who is the present owner of philo cafe, you know?
