We are leaving X/Twitter as of today. We want to work in spheres where humanity is respected. Maybe we'll return one day when the company changes hands or things get fixed, but until then, Restore the Delta will be migrating to other platforms. #cawater

We will be going to Threads (@RestoreTheDelta) and Bluesky (restorethedelta.bsky.social).

What happened to California's salmon season this year?

As Baykeeper science director
Jon Rosenfield points out, the blame lies firmly with the state.
Gov. Newsom is actively blocking water quality updates that would protect fish, the environment, Tribal groups & communities across the state https://kqed.org/science/1983312/what-happened-to-californias-salmon-season-this-year #CAWater #WaterJustice #EnvironmentalJustice #CaliforniaWater #Salmon

Indigenous leaders & environmental groups gathered at the Capitol yesterday to rally for #WaterJustice and specifically in support of 3 bills that would revamp the state’s approach to water rights.

As Baykeeper community advocate Julia Dowell noted, the new bills aim to "create a California where it's not just certain folks who have had this power for so long, who are getting all the water and who can illegally divert water with almost no penalty.” https://www.capradio.org/articles/2023/07/06/tribal-leaders-environmental-groups-rally-for-a-better-water-rights-system/ #CAwater #CaliforniaWater #environmentaljustice
