Seriously though, the responses I see to issues like this trouble me greatly. Are we honestly to consider this sort of thing acceptable because politicians need to keep their jobs and fish can't vote? Beyond the fact that the removed scientists plans would also prevent future flooding, the attitude that its alright to eliminate entire species because of convience and politics is a very disturbing thought. What does this kind of mindset say about our culture and the way we not only view the Earth but "others" in general?

Great post. I wish I had the answers.
