A group of Central Valley irrigation districts that supply water to farms and cities have filed a lawsuit against federal fisheries managers seeking to stop the first commercial salmon fishing season off the California coast in years. The San Joaquin River Group Authority's lawsuit argues that the National Marine Fisheries Service and its related agencies violated their duty to protect the threatened fall run of Chinook salmon by allowing a full commercial season.(AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez)
