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.
