"My takeaway from this story is that all of us need to rethink using chemical pesticides at our homes and businesses. Even so-called organic pesticides like Bacillus thuringiensis, or BT, are highly toxic to monarchs and other butterflies.”—Pam Marino / @pammarino, #MontereyCountyNow https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/opinion_blog/monarchs-face-an-uphill-battle-for-their-survival-it-s-up-to-us-to-help/article_cf7fe0b8-e8d8-11ef-b7c8-9f30411eb64b.html#tncms-source=mosaic

California officials have joined a legal effort to restore water to the Kern River after an abrupt shutoff of water dried up the river and killed thousands of fish in Bakersfield.

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
