NEW YORK: Two environmental groups are threatening to sue a federal agency over what they deem its failure to develop a recovery plan for the Oregon coast coho salmon.
The formal notice of intent to sue was filed Tuesday by the Center for Biological Diversity and Oregon Wild.
The Oregon coast coho has been protected as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act since 2008. Despite this, the two groups say, the National Marine Fisheries Service has failed to develop a recovery plan for the fish.
The plan would entail reforming logging and other land-management practices, which the groups say contribute to the decline of the salmon.
The Fisheries Service says the lawsuit is unnecessary. The agency is working on the plan and will release a draft sometime this fall.
