Just thought I would pass this piece of news on to everyone here.
Not exactly what we need to start seeing.

I didn't think this was recent news.
But just out of interest .. what has the US goverment got to do with declaring a species extinct .. ?

I think they are using the term U.S. Government interchangeably with the U.S. National Marine Fisheries, and this appears to be a formality that specifies how allocation of resources is done. If the species is taken off the endangered list and considered extinct, then no further consideration is given to trying to protect them. (For whatever it's worth)
