California’s pivot from treating beavers as troublemakers to partners in watershed restoration could boost Sierra Nevada water supplies. “Beavers are the ultimate nature based solution: they do all the work—it’s free help.” @noka_oi reports #cawater wp.me/p9BPps-Bw2


This thread gives me hope.

CDFW has been conducting a pilot study to document the distribution and community structure of large fish in the upper #SFE. This week was more evening-night sampling in the north Delta. We've been seeing many native fishes not commonly found in other surveys.
