Salmon Spawning & Recovery Alliance v. Lohn — Puget Sound Salmon Management Plan

The Western District of Washington upheld this government/tribal resource management plan. From the opinion:

This case concerns a challenge to two decisions by National Marine Fisheries Service (“NMFS”) involving Puget Sound Chinook salmon: the approval of a resource management plan prepared by the Puget Sound Indian Tribes and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (“WDFW”), and the biological opinion issued by NMFS regarding the effects of its decision to approve the plan.
