They might have saved the vaquita in the Sea of Cortés, but did they sacrifice the fishermen to do so?

At least the Delta Smelt are doing well. Never mind the consequences or collateral damage.

Fishermen are just farmers who never have to plant or tend their crops. I haven't heard much sympathy for the Ca farmers who lost their water to "endangered species", or for the field workers out of a job.

"... the one thing that has put food on their table"
One door closes, another one opens. Hasn't everyone experienced a closed door in their lives? And what happened?
