The Bay’s white #sturgeon are now facing such peril that the state has closed fishing for them while it considers listing the fish as a threatened species.

"There is a very strong connection between increasing water development and decline of the white sturgeon," as our science director @jarosenfield said to Bay Nature magazine. "We need to fix these problems, and if we don’t, we should consider these fish as harbingers of worse outcomes to come from unsustainable water management in California."
