Worryingly, the Trump administration is showing signs it will try to override rules protecting endangered species in the Bay & Delta.
"The Trump administration is proposing to eliminate the rules entirely and just go for broke, which will result in the destruction of the San Francisco Bay ecosystem. Several extinctions, permanent closures of fisheries," as our lead scientist @jarosenfield told ABC7 News: https://abc7news.com/post/scientists-express-growing-concern-trump-administration-targeting-california-environmental-laws/16017342/
A reminder of what the Bay looked like before environmental regulation—open dumping of industrial waste, raw sewage, and fuel, and constant oil spills.
Before EPA and laws like the Clean Water Act, America's waters were choked with pollution. Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which became a symbol of environmental degradation in the 60s, was so polluted that it repeatedly caught fire.
Today, it's estimated that the #CleanWaterAct alone prevents 700 *billion* pounds of toxic pollution from entering US waters every single year.
We MUST defend these vital laws and institutions.

If I thought it was allowed, I would have asked the captain if we could sail the entire length of the bridge so I could capture its underbelly in all its glory.

Together with our allies, we're suing the Trump Administration for failing to protect one of the Bay's most iconic and imperiled species: White Sturgeon.
"The biggest threat to the White Sturgeon's survival has been the neglect—even downright hostility—from the government agencies that are supposed to protect our Bay and its fishes," as our science director @jarosenfield put it. "White Sturgeon have been around for over 40 million years, but they may not survive Newsom's race with Trump to eviscerate safeguards for the Bay’s water." https://baykeeper.org/press_release/coalition-sues-trump-administration-to-list-white-sturgeon-under-endangered-species-act/
