- Judge upholds protections for Southern California steelhead trout
A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge rejected a water agency's challenge to endangered species protections for the Southern California steelhead trout. The decision upholds state protections based on scientific evidence, as development, dams, and water diversions have severely threatened the species, which is listed as endangered under both federal and state laws.
