It’s time to protect California's White Sturgeon.

CA's White Sturgeon populations have been in decline for 70 years. The state’s sturgeon coordinator says this population "may be the lowest it has ever been.”

As our lead scientist @jarosenfield notes, the greatest threats to sturgeon are water system management, including dams that reduce river flows and block connections between water systems; harmful algal blooms; and overfishing.

Thanks to Laurel Neme and @mongabay for the great article!

"#AnthonyBourdain is a #NewYork institution in his own right. Between multiple 'books, popular xtelevision shows, and a larger-than-life persona, his legacy remains ever-present, inspiring others to pursue their passions for #food, #travel, and exploration. When it came to his hometown, #Bourdain was always willing to share his favorite spots to eat and drink in #NYC. In the 19th episode of the first season of his show, "A Cooks Tour," he cited #UpperWestSide #Jewish #deli Barney Greengrass as serving, "the best breakfast in #NewYork, in fact, the best breakfast in the universe."

Established in 1908, Barney Greengrass specializes in #smokedfish and other foods you'd commonly find at a #Jewishdeli. Per Bourdain, "they don't call him the #sturgeon king for nothing."

BREAKING: We're putting the Trump administration on legal notice for killing and harming winter-run Chinook #Salmon, Central Valley #Steelhead, and Green #Sturgeon in the Bay-Delta.

“The Bureau of Reclamation is blatantly violating the #EndangeredSpeciesAct and putting the Bay’s most iconic fish species at greater risk of extinction,” as our lead attorney Eric Buescher said. “There is simply no excuse for its actions or refusal to comply with the law."

Thanks to our great coalition partners at the Center for Biological Diversity and Friends of the River

The #Seattle Aquarium has an underwater dome that serves as a pretty good point for a break. It's warm in there and there are a couple of sturgeon as well.

This is one of the smaller sturgeons. I just think they're neat. They're living fossils and have undergone relatively little morphological change over the last 100 million years or so. They can get much bigger and get pretty chonky. Despite this, they can leap completely out of the water and seem to do this regularly. It's debated why they do this but reasons range from group communication to escaping predators to simply "feels good". There have been incidents of them hopping into boats and causing injuries doing this too.
