"The voluntary agreements are an extinction plan," as our lead scientist
@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.

"It's no secret that the Trump administration prioritizes handing out California's water to powerful water districts that support the administration," as Baykeeper science director @jarosenfield told the SF Chronicle. "This is part of the Trump administration's war on California and the Trump administration’s war on California's environment."

"This latest plan is a shocking display of cowardice," as our science director
@jarosenfield told @rachbecknews
Newsom'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."

You can use our script to voice your opposition:
The Newsom Administration wants to spend $20 billion of taxpayer dollars to build a giant tunnel that would 1) degrade water quality, 2) cause native species to go extinct & 3) do absolutely nothing to fix CA's water woes.

Governor Newsom and the Department of Water Resources (DWR) have been gunning for a new Delta Tunnel to send fresh water from the Bay and its tributaries to profit megafarms and large landowners. But taking more water from the Bay’s watershed through a new $20 billion tunnel would be a disaster. The additional water diversion

A new plan for California's water would increase the chances that salmon, smelt & steelhead would go #extinct: "Not only do the proposed operations make things no better (for fish in the San Francisco Bay-Delta), they actually make things worse," as our science director @jarosenfield told @CALMatters
