LET THE SALMON SWIM — THE 2024 WILD & SCENIC FILM FESTIVAL ACTION

January 28, 2024March 15, 2024 March 15, 2024
Share with Your People

THANK YOU TO THE 644 INDIVIDUALS WHO SIGNED SYRCL’S LETTER TO GOVERNOR NEWSOM TO
LET THE SALMON SWIM.

For 2024, SYRCL’s advocacy action was focused on getting more water to the
Bay-Delta and all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge in support of salmon and a
healthy ecosystem.

Learn more about the Bay-Delta here.

HERE IS THE TEXT OF THE LETTER:

The Honorable Gavin Newsom 

Governor of California 

1021 O Street, Suite 9000 

Sacramento, CA 95814

RE: Let Salmon Swim!

Dear Governor Newsom,

I am writing to you as a concerned citizen and a supporter of the South Yuba
River Citizens League (SYRCL), a grassroots organization dedicated to protecting
and restoring the Yuba River watershed. I urge you to take action to protect the
Bay-Delta ecosystem and the salmon that depend on it. The Bay-Delta is a vital
habitat for many native fish and wildlife species, including the endangered
spring-run Chinook salmon, which migrate from the Yuba River to the ocean and
back. 

Today, Yuba salmon and the Bay-Delta are in peril due to the lack of adequate
and variable freshwater flows, which are essential for sustaining these
resources. Our current regulations and associated water infrastructure have
prioritized the needs of industrial agribusiness and urban development,
significantly reducing the amount of water that reaches the Bay-Delta and the
Golden Gate. This has resulted in the degradation of water quality, the loss of
wetlands, the invasion of harmful algae blooms and non-native species, and the
precipitous decline of our salmon population and other important species.
Science shows that the largest stressor on fish is lack of water flow in our
rivers. Salmon need water to reach the Golden Gate Bridge.

I urge you to support Updates to the Bay-Delta Plan that include and recognize:

 * The science for more water is set – The only way to recover the health of the
   Bay-Delta and salmon is with significantly more water. New studies won’t
   change the findings of the State Water Resources Control Board’s 2017 report.
 * Freshwater must reach the Golden Gate – Water to support a healthier
   environment needs to fulfill that mission completely by making it under the
   Golden Gate Bridge.
 * Watersheds are not all the same – You said it best: “We’re living with a
   water system designed for a world that no longer exists.” Watersheds need
   tailored solutions to support the needs of the Bay-Delta and their water
   management systems. 
 * Include habitat enhancements – While restored habitat can’t replace water, it
   is an important additional measure in the fight against lost habitat. 
 * Recognize and include tribal beneficial uses – Tribes have been here for
   thousands of years relying on freshwater systems. The “first in time, first
   in right” beneficial water uses of Tribes need to be recognized. 
 * “All-of-the-Above” approach  – There is no single magic solution; more water
   and habitat restoration projects are necessary to prevent the Bay-Delta from
   ecological collapse and the extinction of salmon. And it’s crucial that no
   future dams or new water diversions compromise these protections. 

As the Governor of California, you have the opportunity, and responsibility to
ensure that the Bay-Delta Plan is based on sound science and protects the public
trust resources of the State.  Please support Board staff scientists’ conclusion
that more water is needed and encourage collaboration to provide much higher
flows. These science-based actions would provide a more balanced and sustainable
approach to managing California’s limited water resources, while preserving the
ecological and cultural values of the Bay-Delta and the salmon. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

    The Bay Delta Water Quality Plan has been throroughly researched for years
    and after sessions with multiple water agencies compromises were made to
    allow flexibility in the plan to satisfy water users. I disagree with the
    compromises as the long view to save the rivers of our state is being
    degraded. Institute the needed flows in the rivers now.
    I feel I might be dead before this issue is resolved!

    Ecosystem Restoration is a new era of water resource management–a National
    Movement–restorations are happening now in CA (goodbye Klamath R dams) &
    entire US (Elwha R + Snake R dams–bye, bye). California’s Central Valley
    Watershed/Salmon Ecosystem needs to be restored. California needs to join in
    & ride the wave. SOS (the new SOS) = SAVE OUR SALMON!

SYRCL works throughout the Yuba River watershed on the Ancestral and Traditional
Homelands of the Nisenan, and includes shared boundaries with the Mountain
Maidu, Konkow, and Washoe peoples. These nations have lived here for millennia
and live here still.


We acknowledge and mourn the painful history of genocide and the devastation of
lands and waters irreversibly altered. We are grateful for opportunities to
partner with Indigenous peoples to create a shared vision and rebalance our
relationship to this place.

SYRCL's Vision

We envision a future in which the Yuba River watershed thrives and is resilient
in the face of climate change; a free-flowing Yuba and healthy ecosystems that
support wildlife and people – from the ridges to the canyons and the summit to
the sea; a community that reflects the relationship between a healthy watershed
and human quality of life, one that values a sustainable water future, one that
celebrates the Yuba River’s natural and cultural heritage.

We envision a vibrant, science-based community organization that serves as a
leader for environmental stewardship and activism in the Yuba River watershed –
and that inspires others to make a difference in their communities.
