'The Infamous Delta Smelt Fish Has Not Been Seen in Nearly a Decade – California Allowed Its Cities to Burn to the Ground Over a Fish That
They Can’t Even Find Anymore'

'The tiny Delta Smelt fish have not been seen in the wild in California
in over a decade.

And yet, California Democrats flushed annual water flow into the ocean
to save this little fish that they can’t even find in its natural
habitat.
Now several cities are burnt to the ground.

They sacrificed entire communities for a fish that doesn’t exist.



A 2021 report by Dan Bacher in the Sacramento News revealed that there
have been NO DELTA SMELT seen in the wild since 2012.
They’re extinct.

For the seventh September in a row, the California Department of Fish
and Wildlife has caught zero Delta smelt during its Fall Midwater Trawl
Survey of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

The last time Delta smelt – an indicator species for the broader
ecological health estuary – were found in CDFW’s September survey was in 2015. Only 5 were caught by state biologists at the time.

After that, the only year that Delta smelt were caught during the entire four-month survey was in 2016, when a total of 8 smelt were reported.

The final results of Fish and Wildlife’s four-month survey of pelagic
(open water) fish species, conducted from September through
mid-December, won’t be available until around the start of next year.
The current September 2022 data is available here on the annual state
surveys webpage.

Recent research has shown that the water releases are not providing the benefits to the small fish that they originally thought. Their
population numbers are nearly nonexistent in the wild.

A report released by the conservative Pacific Institute found that every
year, 59.5 million acre-feet of stormwater goes uncaptured across the
United States each year. Approximately 490,000 acre-feet of runoff each
year, or roughly 437 million gallons per day, takes place in LA, Long
Beach and Anaheim, or roughly 437 million gallons per day. They thought
this would save their freshwater minnows like the Delta Smelt.

Liberal Democrats don’t think about issues that are caused by their
lunacy. That’s why the fire hydrants don’t have any water'

Democrats are lunatics for sure.
With few exceptions, they destroy everything they touch.

The operative words are "Democrats don't think..."

When they try, they generally reach flawed conclusions.

We do for it salmon and trout.

Percolation ponds do not harm the delicious fishies.
