“As soon as it stops raining or snowing, we’re going to be back in the same situation with the salmon season closing,” said @jarosenfield.bsky.social, science director at San Francisco Baykeeper. “If we don’t protect river flows and cold water storage, then we’re not protecting salmon.”
Still can’t believe these epic skies over San Francisco during today’s thunderstorms 😍

People are often surprised to find that sand mining is happening right here in SF Bay - with the blessing of the state, which has been selling millions of tons of sand to make concrete & asphalt.
But sand isn't just sand, as our director Sejal Choksi-Chugh writes: baykeeper.org/column/the-b...
