Federal Protection Denied
On August 31, 2001, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was petitioned by the Center for Biological Diversity and VernalPools.Org to list the midvalley fairy shrimp as an endangered species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, and to concurrently designate critical habitat for the species. On April 29, 2003, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published a finding in Federal Register notice that the petition presented substantial information to indicate that listing might be warranted. After reviewing the available scientific and commercial information, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have found that listing is not warranted at this time.

“Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
