The Sacramento Bee (Dec. 29, 2013) — Center co-founder Peter Moyle recounts in an op-ed his experiences as a UC Davis fish biologist documenting the status of California's native fishes — many of them potential candidates for protection under the federal Endangered Species Act. "Our treatment of native species and their habitats has been rather shabby," he said, but, thanks to the law, "We know better than ever their plight, causes of their decline and potential remedies." The law took effect 40 years ago this month.
