Republican Assemblyman David Valadao spoke for many in his Central Valley district when he said it’s time to put people before fish – specifically, the endangered Delta smelt that’s limited the pumping of water to the Central Valley.
“We grow food for the country. I think it’s a national security issue. Any time you cut off a country’s food supply or shorten that food supply, it puts that country at risk,” said Valadao.

This is the year east Valley farmers have dreaded. It’s one of the driest seasons in the past 100 years, and they must share precious water with the federal government to restore the San Joaquin River.
It’s a tender subject among the 15,000 farmers who irrigate with the San Joaquin. For 18 years, they fought a losing legal battle against restoring the dried river and finally agreed to cooperate in 2006.

California’s sea otters have struggled for years with diseases, parasites and even the occasional collision with boats. But now the fuzzy coastal mascots are increasingly facing another threat: shark attacks.

Shortly after 6 a.m. Friday, Paul Skaggs and I pulled into the last empty single-vehicle parking spaces in the Cedaroak boat ramp parking lot.
“We should go buy lottery tickets,” he said with a chuckle. Skaggs is a volunteer host in the L.L. Stub Stewart State Park in Washington County and had driven to the Willamette River for the first of a four-day sturgeon retention fishing season.

The Eel River Recovery Project reports that the 2011 fall run of Chinook salmon on the Eel River was “another record-breaker” at the Van Arsdale Fish Station.
The first of 2,436 Chinook that jumped over the Van Arsdale Dam and spawned in the 12 miles of habitat below Scott Dam and Pillsbury Reservoir was counted on October 16. This was a new high since records began to be kept at Van Arsdale in 1946/47. Last year’s fall Chinook run was also a record-breaker, with 2,315 salmon counted.
