State officials have a once-in-a-generation chance to save California salmon—and they're failing.
As our lead scientist @jarosenfield stresses in this article, the state's plan would drive native fishes to extinction:

Did you know that Chevron is the 5th largest owner of farm land in the Central Valley?
CA agricultural land is being snapped up by investment firms, corporations & opaque holding companies. And these entities are consuming enormous quantities of CA's fresh water -- with very little transparency.
Really important op-ed piece from the @sfchronicle: https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/farms-agriculture-corporations-21015386.php #cawater #centralvalley #water #sfbay #sfbaydelta -
"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."

Here are just a few of the gorgeous illustrations from our new annual report! https://baykeeper.org/current-annual-report/
Our special anniversary report covers all the essential areas of Baykeeper's work—from #stormwater sampling, to #sealevelrise planning, to stopping sewage #pollution, investigating harmful algae blooms, protecting river flows & so much more.
Deep thanks to Fiorella Ikeue for the beautiful artwork 🙏

From CalMatter's 2024 environmental milestones in review: Sadly, low #salmon numbers prompted a 2nd consecutive closure of the #fishing season, and a third-year cancellation is possible. But on the positive side, 2024 brought much-needed protections for White Sturgeon & Longfin Smelt -- two native fishes we've fought long & hard for! https://calmatters.org/environment/2024/12/environment-review-2024/ @CALMatters #sturgeon #longfinsmelt #smelt #cawater #californiawater #endangeredspecies #endangeredspeciesact

Officials have decided to curtail additional water flows for endangered fish in the #Delta this fall--a recipe for #extinction of the formerly abundant Delta smelt.
As Baykeeper science director @jarosenfield & Friends of the River's Gary Bobker wrote:
"California habitually fails to enforce environmental laws designed to protect our aquatic ecosystems. Following the state’s lead, federal agencies skimp on environmental safeguards and waive the meager protections they do offer any time protecting the public’s fish, wildlife, waterways, and water quality, gets in the way of diverting more water to meet California’s seemingly unquenchable demand." https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-10-02/california-water-flow-requirement-debate

"All these species that we think of as being endangered and on the precipice of disappearing, we've forgotten that they used to be abundant,” as our science director @jarosenfield said.
The slow change in what society--& regulators--expect of the natural world is a silent killer of the Bay-Delta ecosystem 😔

"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/

Newsom failed to take advantage of an opportunity to "Trump-proof" the state's water operations in 2019--and his alternative guidelines don't stop fish from dying:
“We're distinguishing between two different speeds to extinction, not a choice between extinction and not extinction,” as our science director @jarosenfield put it.

“To see the state and federal water agencies exceed their take limits and continue business-as-usual water exports is like witnessing extinction in real time,” said @jarosenfield, science director of San Francisco Baykeeper. “It demonstrates the official negligence and lawlessness that caused these fish, and many others, to become endangered in the first place.”

Kudos to the city of #Alameda and #EBMUD for investing in water recycling!
This will be a KEY technology in the path to water #sustainability.
Here's hoping other cities follow Alameda's lead!

California is at the forefront of a global crisis known as the #Anthropocene extinction--and no animal group is more at risk than fishes, as our science director Jon Rosenfield writes, "Researchers recently concluded that California is a world leader in the number of freshwater fishes likely to become extinct by the end of the century. Governor Newsom’s water policies are accelerating this race to oblivion."

2023 has been a whirlwind for Baykeeper—we responded to (another) harmful algae bloom, negotiated a cleanup of heavy metals in the shore, took legal action against four industrial facilities, and much more.

Tioga overlook/Lee Vining canyon on July 13, just below Ellery Dam, elev 9400 feet, 72 degrees. Taken a couple hours after the lower CA120 gate was opened, allowing access up to Yosemite's east gate (the latter gate is still closed, btw).
Mono Craters backdropped by White Mountain range in the distance. Slight pall from #PikaFire drift smoke.
Massive, melting slabs of snow, water, and waterfalls everywhere. So life-affirming one could barely deal.

New Weather West post out today: Unusual June pattern this week with some showers and thunderstorms possible in unusual places (though fire concerns are low); more cool weather could continue through much of June.

Here's a view of the #LagunaDeSantaRosa in #Sonoma County, #California for #SilentSunday.
The #Llano in between #SantaRosa and #Sebastopol is protected from urbanization with a #greenbelt policy and several thousand acres held in reserve by cities and state agencies like #CDFW.
The thriving #wetland system has a series of pools and #floodplains that connect and flow to the Russian River in the wet season.

Via Dan Bacher in California: I don't think most journalists or conservationists realize the significance of this huge #cawater story. An estimated 19,773 spring Chinook salmon out of the 21,580 fish total that returned to spawn in #ButteCreek died before spawning in 2021. #CDFW

Hello, Mastodon! We're so glad to be here! 😀
Baykeeper has defended the Bay & the Bay-Delta watershed since 1989. We patrol on the water, investigate pollution, hold polluters accountable, and strengthen laws for healthy waters & communities #waterpollution #waterscience #sfbay #cawater #climatechange #environmentaljustice
