EEC Partner Profile (continued)
At the State level, we worked hard on CalTrout’s behalf to capitalize on the California Legislature’s appetite for environmental protections from potential federal rollbacks. Governor Brown and legislative leaders did not disappoint. We supported the passage of a Senate Joint Resolution 7 which reaffirmed California’s commitment to salmon and steelhead rehabilitation, inserted language into a greenhouse gas restoration fund that will protect mountain meadows now and into the future, extended the steelhead report card fund until 2022, and influenced countless other pieces of legislation on behalf of CalTrout. Additionally, a resolution was reached on a $4.1B water and parks bond, which provides hundreds of millions for multi-benefit flood control projects, water acquisition, fisheries enhancements, funding to support CalTrout’s Central Valley Salmon Habitat Partnership, and many other natural resource priorities. This measure will be placed before the voters in June 2018, and we encourage Californians to vote YES!
2018 will provide both opportunities and challenges. Here at home we will be instrumentally involved in the bond campaign through June. At the same time, the Legislature will reconvene to discuss thousands of bills, many related to water operations and natural resources management. At the federal level, the midterm elections may alter the calculations and agendas on Capitol Hill. Meanwhile, the President’s agenda should hit its stride at the agency level as appointments get filled in and policy implementation continues.
EEC is proud to work with the staff and volunteers at CalTrout, protecting our natural resources, clean water, meadows, and wetlands, and supporting innovative working partnerships that combine the benefits of agriculture, flood control, and fisheries.
