I found the following while skimming though yesterday's Register Guard:

"The insecticides chlorpyrifos, malathion and diazinon ... are likely to lead to the extinction of more than two dozen salmon or steelhead runs in California, Oregon and Washington, according to a draft biological opinion by the National Marine Fisheries Service..."

I was shocked. Not at reading that pesticides are killing off our salmon runs.  Anybody that has half a brain and is paying attention to what's going on should be able to figure that out.  But to see that a federal agency is actually admitting to it.  This is big news with all kinds of potential.

The article goes on to say that the report is the result of a lawsuit brought on by Northwest Alternative to Pesticides (NCAP).  Good job NCAP!
