It is interesting that NOAA seems unaffected by all the turmoil in DC. Especially given the EPA has been turned upside down.

I am curious to know...what do you guys want from NOAA?

My wish list would be something like:

- stop overtly advocating the tribes wishes (over the state's)
- relax ESA restrictions on watersheds that have shown no sign of recovery (give us the green light to throw in the towel)

I realize both of these would be fairly well unpalatable politically and by the public. But hey, a guy can dream.
