Coalition response...Recent research has proven that factors other than the pumps play a larger role in the dwindling salmon population. A "feeding frenzy" occurs when juvenile salmon migrate through the Delta and encounter striped bass that are waiting for an easy meal. Ocean conditions---water temperature and dwindling food supply---have also reduced the salmon numbers. Some individuals continue to lay the blame for low salmon numbers at the pumps but science is proving otherwise.
The author is correct in emphasizing the importance of the Delta in solving California's water issues. Current efforts through the Bay Delta Conservation Plan and the Delta Stewardship Council is drawing us closer to finding those necessary answers to both protect the Delta ecosystem and provide a reliable water supply. That water supply satisfies the needs of 25 million Californians and is used to grow a safe and healthy food supply.
