Whereas:

The State and Federal Governments have allowed the destruction of the Central Valley and Klamath fisheries

• The California sport and commercial salmon fishing season has been closed for the first time in history because of the delta collapse
• Federal & State Water policies created the collapse of the delta with eminent extinctions and devastated runs of salmon and striped bass
• The Bush Administration dewatered the Klamath in 2002 killing 68,000 adult salmon and 100,000 smolts. PacifiCorp continues to stonewall the Klamath dam removals
• The Federal and State Agencies are ignoring the Central Valley Act & The Endangered Species Act that protect fish

Therefore, the 2.4 million California fishermen demand:

• A reduction in delta exports and a moratorium on any new delta water development or allocations until the fish runs are recovered
• Removal of 4 dams on the Klamath River and restoration of fish flows
• Full funding and compliance with the Central Valley Project Improvement Act and the Endangered Species Act
• Support amd funding for habitat restoration in hundreds of rivers and streams throughout the state
