Thanks @winstonszeto for covering this.

So here are some of the related documents with regards to this issue. The reader can decide whether there is a coverup or not.

1) A "deemed refusal" of an ATIP on steelhead where the OIC office indicates the options are to take DFO to Federal Court to get the records. ImageImage
Here is correspondence with another OIC investigator trying to get the RPA. DFO continually sends the investigator the wrong documents. ImageImageImage

A thread about record low #endangered Interior Fraser #steelhead. The intent of this thread is to educate people on the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada's consistent habit of both destroying these fish while simultaneously editing/hiding science.

Steelhead pops in the two best monitored systems (Chilcotin and Thompson rivers) have gone from thousands to an estimated 19 (yes, 19) and 104 respectively. These are all-time record lows.

The neat thing about steelhead is that unlike other anadromous fish such as salmon they do not die after spawning so they can spawn more than once. Generally speaking, older fish = bigger fish = > fecundity = more babies in the water and hopefully more adults returning.

(Thread) A scientist’s view of the urgent need for @GavinNewsom to sign SB#1, written by @sentoniatkins.

Like every scientist concerned with preventing #extinction of #SFBay’s fish species, I want #endangeredspecies management to use only the best available science. 1/
@GavinNewsom @SenToniAtkins I supported then-Secretary @sallyjewell's call to review #endangeredspeciesact safeguards for the Bay’s imperiled fish species. Those reviews were necessary bc endangered fish continued to decline; Jewell wrote that she expected the review to lead to increased protections. 2/
@GavinNewsom @SenToniAtkins @sallyjewell Then science-denialists in the Trump Administration manipulated the scientific process used to develop @NOAAFisheries scientific review and tried to bury the best available science. latimes.com/environment/st…
