"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 @rachbecknews

Newsom'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."

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

"This Delta tunnel risks devastating the West Coast's largest estuary, harming #salmon fisheries, causing fish extinctions, degrading water quality and damaging cultural sites vital to tribal communities." https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2024/08/31/opinion-delta-tunnel-plan-is-a-risky-destructive-and-unnecessary-gamble/

Anything happening in the upper watershed affects the Delta & Bay—and cars contain lead, mercury, and other pollutants:
"Cars just don't belong in our waters and that's the bottom line," as Baykeeper executive director Sejal Choksi-Chugh put it. https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/cars-just-dont-belong-in-our-waters-removing-vehicles-from-sacramento-river-raises-concerns/
