The Yuba River and the Bay Delta: A Vital Connection for Salmon and our Communities
The Yuba River and the Bay Delta are connected by more than water. They are also linked by the migration of salmon, which depend on both habitats for their survival. These fish provide food, recreation, and cultural value for millions of Californians. The water that is crucial to these ecosystems also grows the food we eat and powers our homes. Balancing the demands on California’s limited water supply is a complex challenge.
The Bay-Delta ecosystem is suffering from a shortage of freshwater. This has degraded the natural habitat of many species and the quality of life of Delta communities.
