The feds agree that the Bay's imperiled #WhiteSturgeon are endangered -- but are refusing to protect them under the Endangered Species Act:
"The biggest threat to the White Sturgeon’s survival is neglect from the very agencies that are required to protect them," as Baykeeper science director @jarosenfield put it.

I so believe in localism, but then somebody says something like this and I want to smack em in the mouth.
“When anybody says no pumping within two or three miles of the canal, I’d say, ‘You guys are smoking crack.’ Because that’s never gonna happen,” Porterville GSA General Manager Sean Geivet said at the agency’s July 14 meeting.

"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."

In an overt act of political meddling, Governor Newsom and his deputies are pressuring a judge to retract her evidence-based findings on the Sites Reservoir Project.
But the facts are clear: the project cannot operate as proposed without harm to rivers, fish & ecosystems.

After 3 years of closures that devastated CA's fishing industry, commercial salmon fishing is poised to reopen this spring.
But that doesn't fix the underlying problem as our lead scientist @jarosenfield explains:
"As soon as it stops raining or snowing, we’re going to be back in the same situation with the salmon season closing. If we don't protect river flows and cold water storage, then we’re not protecting salmon."https://calmatters.org/environment/2026/04/california-salmon-season-reopen-closure/

Unpredictable snowpack, dwindling water supplies, collapsing fish populations, and an expected update to the Bay-Delta plan make CA water management issues more urgent than ever before.
"And there are folks who just don't care about those things. And I like to tell them these are just messengers of worse things to come," as our lead scientist @jarosenfield told ABC-7 News.
That's why we're taking action, along with our partners at the Center of Biological Diversity, to hold the Bureau of Reclamation accountable under the law.

Native fish populations, including Chinook Salmon, Central Valley Steelhead, and Green and White Sturgeon are declining at an alarming rate—meanwhile, state regulators have failed to act.
So we're taking legal action to hold the State Water Board accountable: https://baykeeper.org/press_release/baykeeper-pursues-appeal-against-water-board-amid-extinction-crisis/

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:

@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.

"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."
