• holding that agency’s decision to prepare two ElSes, each of which directed the reader to the other document where an issue more appropriately fell within the scope of that project, “did not undermine its compliance with NEPA”
• explaining that agencies are required “to set forth only those alternatives necessary to permit a reasoned choice” (quoting Presidio Golf Club v. Nat’l Park Serv., 155 F.3d 1153, 1160 (9th Cir. 1998))
• rejecting a reading of the Magnuson-Stevens Act which “requires inserting the word ‘only 1 or ‘solely’ into subsection [1853a](c)(5)”
• “The National Standards, and the MSA more generally, require NMFS to balance conservation with yield, not favor one at the expense of the other.”
