GOP Puts the Endangered Species Act in Its Crosshairs

Picture
One of the primary topics will be the just-announced attempt by the GOP Congress to roll back portions of the Endangered Species Act.

Signed into law by President Nixon in 1973, the ESA has successfully aided in the preservation of once-critically endangered species like the American bald eagle, Northern spotted owl and American gray wolf (now vulnerable in some states) by regulating "development untempered by adequate concern and conservation."

The ESA continues to ensure protections at the federal level for the Canadian lynx and hundreds of other endangered and threatened animals throughout the vast wild spaces of the U.S., including the desert tortoise, commonly found in the deserts of California, Nevada and Arizona.

Wednesday's meeting agenda is linked here, including:
  • Kevin Beiser on ongoing environmental efforts with the San Diego Unified School District.
  • Chula Vista city councilman Steve Padilla on his interest in the California Coastal Commission.
  • Maryanne Viney of Community Voices with an update on Agua Hedionda Lagoon in Carlsbad.
  • We'll also discuss a potential club resolution in opposition to the proposed sand mine along the San Diego River in Lakeside's El Monte Valley.
