.......You might find it hard to believe but management doesn't always do what the bio's recommend.....
You say that as if to imply whatever a biologist reccomends is what we should be going with. Science is but one part of the decision making process, and in most folks opinions, starting in 2000, we've given too much weight to the "science", not only negatively affecting finance, forest health(regeneration in the schitter), but the recreation too(which by the way is spelled out pretty well in Title 34). Biologists have a job to do, and unfortunately theyre like everyone else....produce some type of result, good or bad, or lose your job. There needs to be some justification for your title, or it becomes overhead, easily cut. But again, theyre one small part of the big picture. They arent in charge for a reason.
