THere are more gold panners in the YUBA than salmon....

EVEN ‘stocking’ the river won’t work-—

SALMON return to WHERE THEY WERE BORN TO LAY THEIR EGGS

NEWSOM is nuts.

[markman46]

Some bs agreement with a couple of tribes so they can fish their “traditional way” is all.

[Freedumb]

Yep if California had spent all those billions they wasted on the high speed train to nowhere on desalination plants they not only would have plenty of water for themselves they could be making huge $$ on selling the excess to landlocked desert states like Arizona and Nevada.

Those farmers don’t need water to grow crops if people will just start eating seaweed and bugs ... yum yum

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Why not use the ancient native American method: Slaughter a chief on the shores of the river?

Kalifornia continues to empty reservoirs and tear down as many dams as possible.

The purpose for the Daguerre Point dam is retention of hydraulic mining debris and to protect navigation in the Feather and Sacramento rivers. These dams have nothing to do with reseviors.

[frithguild]

Chinook returned to the Elwah after the dams were removed. To say that the wildlife abundant in contiguous areas will not return because it has been gone for 100 years states a falsity.

You really should look at the Elwah dam removal and restoration project before you shout any more.

[Political Junkie Too]

Will this include draining California's reservoirs from record snowmelt from the recent "atmospheric rivers" storms? Will Newsom squander the stored water for the fish again?

I identify as a Chinook salmon.

Please send a check, Governor Newsom.

[shadowlands1960]

Where they are spawned or where they are born? These aren’t necessarily the same thing. I assume they plan on planting fertilized salmon roe in the upper river. Even if it doesn’t succeed improving the Yuba River channel is important for people in my county. I’d rather money be spent on improving the Yuba watershed than housing illegal immigrants and giving ‘reparation’ to people who were never slaves in a free state. As I said in the above post, this has little to do with Newsome, it’s been planned going back to the elder Brown.

remove the dams

The Daguerre Point dam is a bullshit dam that can be removed with just a couple of trackhoes. Remove it, absolutely.

Reparations for fish!

[Scrambler Bob]

So, if I declare as a salmon . . . I get reparations?
