Delta Flows EP 5 Description: The Delta Tunnel would be the largest transfer of public wealth in California for the last forty years. Officially known as the Delta Conveyance Project, the Delta Tunnel has been called a “climate adaptation project” which is simply not true. It has more accurately been referred to as a zombie project because it has been proposed in various forms over the last four decades. The Delta Tunnel jeopardizes the environment and our communities as a whole. It would devastate the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta through further eradication of endangered fish species, declining water quality, destroying seven-generational family farms, construction pollution, and the overall negative impacts on Tribes and disadvantaged communities. Tony Gladney will be discussing the current threats from the project, the flaws of the project, as well as ways to take action with Executive Director Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla and Policy Analyst Morgen Snyder with Restore the Delta.

In this episode, we’re joined by Scott Artis, Executive Director of the Golden State Salmon Association, to examine the consequences of this closure. From economic losses to ecological disruptions, we explore how this absence is felt across California and what it means for the future. Can we restore balance, protect this iconic species, and bring back a healthy salmon fishery?
