CA water does not have proper water accounting, this was discussed separately in the voluntary agreement workshop. This story explains years of water theft that have happened — how can we trust the VAs without proper accounting?

Our first returning adult Salmon for the year was captured within the restoration area.  This is the 7th year and 6th in a row for adult spring-run salmon returning to the restoration area! (Photo courtesy of the San Joaquin River Restoration Program.)

Yesterday the Pacific Fisheries Management Council announced commercial & recreational fishing will be shut-down for all of #California for the 2nd year due to dangerously low salmon runs in the Sacramento & Klamath Rivers. River management is the reason

[Save California Salmon @SaveCaliSalmon]

The closure is due to the collapse of Sacramento & Klamath salmon populations for the 2nd year
@GavinNewsom @CaWaterBoards @Interior made decisions to kill off salmon for years in Bay Delta watersheds
Now they want the Tunnel & Sites to divert more! Full release @goldenstsalmon

It’s official- the CA salmon fishery has been closed for the second year in a row. Press release by @goldenstsalmon at the link in our bio.

[Save California Salmon @SaveCaliSalmon]

Our hearts are breaking for the Tribal, recreational & commercial fishermen of California. This man-made disaster is the result of decisions by the Biden & @GavinNewsom administrations to prioritize water for agriculture over salmon, cities and communities

"Six years ago, the state committed to 'Making Water Conservation a California Way of Life.' To deliver on this promise ... the state should move ahead with the conservation rules proposed last year, not the watered-down version released this week."

We can't tell irrigators what to grow - but we can limit the amount of water available to them to grow water-intensive crops in the desert, and in doing so ensure that everyone is doing their part to conserve water and save the river ecosystem.

"The state water board must do what is right for our communities, our environment and our future: Make efficiency the top priority. Don’t leave Californians waiting decades longer to make conservation a way of life. @CaWaterBoards #VoluntaryAgreements"

[The Bay Institute @TheBayInstitute]

We, along with @SFBaykeeper @Defenders @goldenstsalmon have written a letter demanding that the agencies stop the unauthorized take of thousands of Chinook Salmon and Steelhead at the Delta pumps. Both species are listed under the Federal Endangered Species Act. Link in our bio.

You can help implement the San Joaquin River Restoration Program! @sanjoaquinresto is now hiring a Water Management Goal Supervisor https://t.co/HWZjqy2H5H and a Budget Analyst https://t.co/8sHWrvVLLH to support the restoration program.

Happy #WorldWaterDay ! Help us celebrate by signing this petition by @TuolumneRiver to restore the #BayDelta

[Restore the Delta @RestoretheDelta]

Today on #WorldWaterDay, it is imperative that the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is restored. This means no voluntary agreements and no Delta tunnel for a #ProDelta environment and communities. #NoTunnel #CAWater

[Heal the Bay @HealTheBay]

Conservation deferred is environmental justice denied. Saving water makes it affordable for everyone. Tell the @CaWaterBoards - keep water conservation regs strong! [email protected] 💧 #conservationworks

Happy St. Patrick’s Day – This year we’re hoping the Bay Area will take some notes from Chicago and turn the bay green…with sturgeon, that is!
