Promoted as a benefit for some of the world’s wealthiest agribusinesses, H.R. 1837 seeks to overturn a historic agreement to restore water flows and salmon runs in the San Joaquin River. It would also nullify decades of science-based protections for the Bay-Delta and harm the communities reliant on a healthy estuary.
At stake is the largest estuary on the West Coast of North America. It is a maze of wetlands and farmlands, islands and waterways, where torrents of the Sierra Nevada mix with tides from the Pacific Ocean. It provides a haven for fish and wildlife, quenches the thirst of millions of Californians, contains thousands of acres of farmland while watering hundreds of thousands more, and nurses salmon runs that sustain fishing ports along a thousand miles of coastline.
Please, now, e-mail your member of Congress and ask for a NO vote on H.R. 1837.
