Urgent Action Alert for AB 1806, Lois Wolk's Fish Rescue Plans Bill
Assemblywoman Lois Wolk's AB 1806 covers mitigation for the Prospect Island fish kill and requires direct and indirect mitigation for fish losses from the state and federal water export pumps from the time they were started in the 1960's to the present. If this measure is passed, there would be millions of dollars of mitigation money available for restoration for chinook salmon, steelhead, delta smelt, longfin smelt, green sturgeon and other rapidly declining fish species. In light of the collapse of the Central Valley fall run chinook population and the California Delta food chain crash, this bill is desperately needed to hold the state and federal governments accountable for the hundreds of thousands of salmon, delta smelt, striped bass and other species that they kill directly and indirectly every year in the water export pumps. I urge everybody to attend the hearing and to write a letter in support of the bill. Business as usual on the Delta cannot continue!
