  1. In my opinion this is just the wrong decision. Too many species, in this case the Marbled Murrelet, are disappearing because of this kind of shortsighted decision making. Sometimes I really have to wonder if our ecosystems and their biodiversity need to continue to “die by a death of a thousand cuts” by decisions like this one.
