TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 2002 The Bush administration on Monday proposed to temporarily eliminate habitat protections for 19 salmon and steelhead runs in order to settle a lawsuit brought by development interests and local governments. The protections would be dropped while new habitat designations can be developed. This would take approximately two years, according to the Associated Press. The settlement would scale back protections enacted during the Clinton administration. It affects salmon and steelhead populations in the Pacific Northwest, where tribes have treaty rights to fish.
