More than 750 northern tidewater gobies were plucked from a lagoon ravaged by the Palisades fire and transferred to aquariums. A more complicated mission to rescue endangered steelhead trout from the same watershed is slated move forward Thursday. Watersheds seared by fire can take years to recover, experts say. The rescue team donned waders and marched into a murky Malibu lagoon scorched by the Palisades fire. Their mission: Save the lives of northern tidewater gobies, a tiny endangered fish.
The destructive wildfire had stripped the slopes of the nearby Santa Monica Mountains and now rain could send a tremendous amount of sediment flowing into Topanga Lagoon, a death trap for fish.

Why yes, fish are more important than people in kali-fornia.

Whew, that was a close call! But the fish are saved. Praise God and Hallelujah!
If only those pesky humans had not started the fire, those poor fish would not have been in any danger.

Yeah, and all those claims of forest and water mismanagement for the purpose of trying to protect endangered species falls flat in light of this.
The wildfires caused by bad policies have done more damage than almost anything man could have done.

Agreed—maybe next the leftists will let fish vote—since they are obviously more important than people.

Saved so displaced folks can eat them?

Go figure, here in Michigan, the great lakes are now battling against gobys, that are considered an invasive species.
To: FlingWingFlyer
Well, that’s certainly good news. I can sleep well tonight.

A guy employed to be part of the fish rescue mission said he was working for scale.

I’m sure all of the homeowners who lost their homes are relieved to hear this news.

Northern tidewater gobies are really good to eat. They go well with southern blowfish. And the eastern big lipped carp stuffed with little gobies is not bad either.

We must think about what kind of world we are going to leave to Keith Richards and northern tidewater gobies.
