San Francisco Baykeeper<p>From CalMatter's 2024 environmental milestones in review: Sadly, low <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/salmon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>salmon</span></a> numbers prompted a 2nd consecutive closure of the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/fishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fishing</span></a> season, and a third-year cancellation is possible. But on the positive side, 2024 brought much-needed protections for White Sturgeon & Longfin Smelt -- two native fishes we've fought long & hard for! <a href="https://calmatters.org/environment/2024/12/environment-review-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">calmatters.org/environment/202</span><span class="invisible">4/12/environment-review-2024/</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@CALMatters" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>CALMatters</span></a></span> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sturgeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sturgeon</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/longfinsmelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longfinsmelt</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/smelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smelt</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/cawater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cawater</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/californiawater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>californiawater</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/endangeredspecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>endangeredspecies</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/endangeredspeciesact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>endangeredspeciesact</span></a></p>
