Recent salmon returns highlight the impact of failed water management. Last fall, the Sacramento River saw disastrous fall-run Chinook returns, while the Mokelumne River experienced record highs. The key difference? Sacramento’s juvenile salmon were left to struggle in poor river conditions three years ago, while Mokelumne hatchery salmon were trucked safely to the Bay and ocean—proving ocean conditions weren’t to blame. This is a water policy issue, and unless it's addressed, California will continue to struggle to maintain healthy populations year after year.

Newsom’s water policies are killing California’s salmon runs and have created toxic algal blooms in our rivers and Delta. Fishermen and women have been out of work for 2 years and have yet to receive any disaster relief funding. Entire coastal towns and their businesses are now endangered at no fault of their own. The time is now to step up and do something to help and the vast number of communities that rely on them. Enough is Enough
