Endangered Species Act Catch 22 Ends Agency Over Snail Darter Clash
Washington AP reports the Office of Endangered Species shuts after Congress fails to fund for the new fiscal year, creating a Catch 22 where agencies must consult on projects under the Endangered Species Act but cannot due to lack of an operating office. Keith Schreiner notes the act’s history with the snail darter and Tellico Dam. The act aims to protect threatened species across federal projects, with the Fish and Wildlife Service continuing consult duties despite the funding gap.
