A perfect example would be Friends of the River, Inc. and the American River Conservancy, Inc. acquiring land for corporate commercial whitewater rafting "put-ins/take-outs" and lobbying Congress against completing dams on the American River!
They need to paddle these rafter's butts, but good!!!
I'm all for it.
A lot of the fish kills on our rivers happen in the summer when the envirals get high releases of water for the white water rats on weekends and holiday weekends. After the rafting is over, the water goes down to summer flows, and the baby salmon and steelhead get caught in areas that go dry. They die and GW gets blamed.
