The California Delta Is Under Attack. The Delta is in position to have many fish species put on a list for removal. This list includes striped bass, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and catfish. Please read and show your support for the opposition to this bill: “Federal bill S. 1894, introduced by Senators Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, would mandate the eradication of all non-native fish, including striped bass, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, catfish and other species, from the Bay-Delta Estuary, while failing to deal with the fundamental problems that have been so destructive to the estuary and our native fishes.
