A suppressed federal report has concluded that the Trump administration's proposed water plan would endanger California salmon. The report, which was obtained by The Washington Post, found that the plan would reduce water flows in rivers and streams, which would make it difficult for salmon to migrate and spawn. The report also found that the plan would increase water pollution, which would further harm salmon populations.
The Trump administration's water plan is based on a proposal from the Interior Department. The proposal would divert water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to Central Valley farms. The delta is a critical habitat for salmon, and reducing water flows would make it difficult for salmon to survive.
The report's findings are consistent with those of other scientific studies. A study by the National Marine Fisheries Service found that the Trump administration's water plan would reduce salmon populations by up to 50%. Another study by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife found that the plan would cause the extinction of some salmon populations.
The Trump administration has ignored the scientific evidence and is moving forward with its water plan. The plan is a disaster for California salmon and for the environment.
What can you do to help?
Contact your elected officials and let them know that you oppose the Trump administration's water plan. You can also support organizations that are fighting to protect California salmon, such as the Sierra Club and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
