We, the fish and fair water use advocates are like that frog. Our water rights are being slowly eroded by agribusiness and special interests, so we barely notice, with the end result being that fish runs have been decimated by 90% in the space of one generation with very little public outcry.
Please watch this video clip, it states the problem very well.

Matt,
ReplyDeleteI did sign it. I am cognizant also of the problems on the Klamath and Trinity Rivers as well as others. I jumped a fire out of Redding on The Hay Fork Trinity. Wonderful country.
