After GGSA action, state salmon hatcheries announce tighter rules about releasing fish in order to increase survival.

Floodwaters can provide habitat for salmon and birds while recharging underground aquifers.

Heated water dumping from the Thermalito Afterbay into the Feather River pollutes the river for salmon. GGSA provided input on new federal rules designed to fix this. Photos courtesy of GGSA.

The 2016 season was very poor for commercial salmon fishermen.
