Newsom touts his proposal as the starting point of a long-term effort to double Central Valley Chinook #Salmon populations from historical levels.

Don't believe him: "There is no way the water & habitat assets they’ve put on the table, will achieve the doubling goal — no way, not possible," as Baykeeper science director @jarosenfield put it https://calmatters.org/environment/water/2024/12/california-new-delta-water-plan-salmon/ via @CALMatters #newsom #cawater #chinook #water

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

Officials have decided to curtail additional water flows for endangered fish in the #Delta this fall--a recipe for #extinction of the formerly abundant Delta smelt.

As Baykeeper science director @jarosenfield & Friends of the River's Gary Bobker wrote:

"California habitually fails to enforce environmental laws designed to protect our aquatic ecosystems. Following the state’s lead, federal agencies skimp on environmental safeguards and waive the meager protections they do offer any time protecting the public’s fish, wildlife, waterways, and water quality, gets in the way of diverting more water to meet California’s seemingly unquenchable demand." https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-10-02/california-water-flow-requirement-debate
