"The smelt used to be among the most common fish species in the delta," said @jarosenfield, a fish biologist and science director of San Francisco Baykeeper. "Now, it's almost impossible to find them."
The restoration effort, he said, is admirable but inadequate: "It's like building a very nice playground in a neighborhood you’ve allowed to burn down."

"The voluntary agreements are an extinction plan," as our lead scientist
@jarosenfield describes the state's new Bay Delta Plan.Endangered species will continue to plummet, more fisheries will shutter, and Tribes & Delta communities will continue to suffer with worse water quality.

"It's no secret that the Trump administration prioritizes handing out California's water to powerful water districts that support the administration," as Baykeeper science director @jarosenfield told the SF Chronicle. "This is part of the Trump administration's war on California and the Trump administration’s war on California's environment."

"This latest plan is a shocking display of cowardice," as our science director
@jarosenfield told @rachbecknewsNewsom's plan would be devastating for already hard-hit fisheries, Chinook #salmon & other native fish & wildlife, Tribes, and Bay-Delta communities.
Also concerning: the Newsom Admin's move to limit disclosures about how the plan would affect the Bay-Delta through a bill waiving #CEQA requirements. Ashley Overhouse of Defenders of Wildlife said the exemption is "bordering on undemocratic because you are cutting out the public in an important process."

Action Alert 🚨 Newsom is attempting to fast track the destructive, costly & wasteful Delta Conveyance Project—aka the #DeltaTunnel—through 2 trailer bills.
We need you to speak out! Please call or email your CA reps to urge them to oppose these trailer bills.

The Newsom Administration wants to spend $20 billion of taxpayer dollars to build a giant tunnel that would 1) degrade water quality, 2) cause native species to go extinct & 3) do absolutely nothing to fix CA's water woes.

As Baykeeper attorney Eric Buescher & @RestoreTheDelta director Barbara Barrigan-Parilla write, water agencies should ditch the costly ill-conceived #DeltaTunnel and instead focus on addressing the many other challenges facing the State Water Project, including: "expired water rights, sinking aqueducts, properly maintaining Delta levees, an ecosystem in crisis, and more than a century of ignoring or exploiting Tribes and environmental justice communities, all of which are critical to a thriving Delta, state, and sustainable water management system for all Californians." https://mavensnotebook.com/2025/01/07/guest-commentary-tunneling-through-trouble-missteps-mismanagement-and-the-costly-pursuit-of-the-delta-conveyance-project/ #cawater #californiawater #cadelta #californiadelta #environmentaljustice

State officials have failed to stop destructive #InvasiveSpecies from spreading to the Bay-Delta despite laws on the books designed to do so: “We had the highest standards in the world, but they were never actually enforced because the state couldn’t come up with a set of technologies to implement them,” as our attorney Ben Eichenberg explained to CalMatters https://calmatters.org/environment/2024/11/california-mussels-enforcement-ballast-water-ships/ @CALMatters #cadelta #californiadelta #sfbay #sanfranciscobay #waterpollution #ballastpollution #ballastwater

A new plan for California's water would increase the chances that salmon, smelt & steelhead would go #extinct: "Not only do the proposed operations make things no better (for fish in the San Francisco Bay-Delta), they actually make things worse," as our science director @jarosenfield told @CALMatters

The #DeltaTunnel project would not have increased water supply this year--but it would have reduced the survival of endangered winter-run #Chinook salmon:
"The public deserves an honest conversation about the costs and benefits of a Delta tunnel project, including accurate information about the financial costs, potential water supply benefits, and adverse impacts to #fish, water quality, and #wildlife – and the fishing jobs and communities in the Delta that depend on a healthy estuary," as Doug Obegi of @nrdc writes https://www.nrdc.org/bio/doug-obegi/dwrs-latest-misinformation-about-delta-conveyance-project #CAwater #CAdelta
