California's Fisheries Conservation Projects Grind To a Halt

In the Los Angeles Times, Jordan Rua says that the predicted shut-down of conservation projects is well underway. “The money freeze has immobilized construction of new biking trails along the Santa Ana River in San Bernardino and Orange counties. It has stopped plans to tear down the Matilija Dam in Ventura County and restore the sediment-filled Matilija reservoir. It has impeded efforts to boost the populations of salmon and steelhead trout off the coast of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.”
