You may want to visit my website, www.lloydgcarter.com and read a new story (top of the page) about Fresno federal judge Lawrence O'Neill's ruling that federal scientists may proceed with a plan to increase flows in the Trinity River to protect migrating salmon from a deadly parasite that caused a fish kill of at least 34,000 adult salmon in 2002.

Freezing Out Fish in Whine Country
Submitted by Lloyd Carter on Wed, 10/05/2011 - 06:53.Freezing Out Fish in Whine Country
By Lloyd G. Carter
Do not expect the State Water Resources Control Board’s recently adopted frost prevention self-monitoring program to halt the Russian River fishery’s slow slide toward extinction. If anything, the new regulations may hasten extinction, given the wine growing industry’s practice of virtually drying up the river on occasion. Almost everybody is mad at the Water Board’s bumbling effort to shift its regulatory responsibility to protect and monitor the fishery onto the wine industry, which is the very industry causing the problem. Fishing interests and environmentalists contend precious little time is left to solve a problem the water board has ignored for decades. Growers, on the other hand, claim they are voluntarily solving the problem and that the new water board regulations are onerous, expensive and unnecessary. One thing is certain. Fish and wine may go together at the supper table but wines grown in Sonoma and Mendocino counties come at a terrible environmental price for Coho and Chinook salmon and steelhead trout, which once filled the Russian River and its tributaries by the tens of thousands.
