🎣 Fishy news flash! After only a few short decades, our government has heroically managed to allow #Steelhead and #Salmon to swim through Alameda Creek again. 🌊 Just remember to use a "modern" browser to read about it, because everyone's still stuck in 1995, apparently. 🙄

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

New USGS dataset uncovers the Santiam River’s underwater topography to aid in fish habitat and water flow management | U.S. Geological Survey

A new dataset for the Santiam River in Oregon, published by the U.S. Geological Survey, provides a highly detailed underwater 3D elevation map that will help support fish habitat restoration and flood modeling work.

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

Is a new plan for delivering Delta water worse than Trump’s rules? Environmentalists say yes.

Growers support a proposal for operating California’s massive systems that send river water south. But it could harm endangered fish.

#SalmonHatcheries, #FishLadders, etc. are #bandaid measures which will not sustain #WildSalmon & #steelhead in #WA or anywhere. #JayInslee and the entire WA Congressional delegation are being dishonest with the #publlc and those directly affected. The only way forward is to #RemoveTheDams on the #Columbia and elsewhere and yet in spite of Legal Outcomes to do just this, they sit untouched because no one has ANY Political Courage to do the job. These are NOT #SalmonLeaders https://www.king5.com/article/tech/science/environment/240-million-tribal-salmon-hatcheries-across-northwest/281-2772aac6-b8f3-4482-9b78-32f8cac285f8?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery

#Fish & #Wildlife: The #KoksilahRiver supports regionally significant #aquatic #ecosystems and fish species, including #chinook, #coho and #chum #salmon as well as #steelhead and resident #trout. These fish populations are both culturally and economically significant to local First Nations. It is essential to the survival of many species of #birds, #mammals, #reptiles, and #amphibians.

#Farms & #Vineyards: Approximately 15% of the lower watershed supports a significant #agricultural community including many large dairy farms as well as smaller mixed and organic farms. The pastoral landscape is a also a favorite wine-touring route and is a thriving and expanding #RuralTourism business.

Forest: Approximately 73% of the #KoksilahWatershed is Privately Managed #Forest Lands and another 6% is Crown #Forestry Lands.

#Recreation Opportunities: The Koksilah Watershed is home to several parks including the #KoksilahRiverProvincialPark. It is enjoyed by many in the valley as a refreshing place to swim on hot summer days because the water temperature is always cooler than the #Cowichan River. It is also used extensively by white water paddlers, particularly in the winter months.

The #CowichanRiver #estuary is one of the largest & most important in #BritishColumbia. The #watershed drains 90,000 hectares & provides #CriticalHabitat to dozens of #fish species, including #steelhead, #Chinook, #chum, #coho & #PinkSalmon, as well as brown, #cutthroat & #RainbowTrout. But the #Cowichan’s troubles are by no means unique; they are a #CaseStudy for a much larger problem.

#TimberCompanies store #LogBooms all along the #BCcoast, says Jamieson Atkinson, a fish #biologist & program manager for the #Aquatic #Research & #Restoration Centre at #BritishColumbiaConservationFoundation. “It’s shocking.” While #estuaries make up less than 3% of British Columbia’s coast, they provide rich #habitat for 80% of the province’s coastal #wildlife. The #FraserRiver estuary, near #Vancouver on the mainland, supports more than 300 species of #birds & 80 species of fish & #shellfish for at least part of their life cycles.
