  • Center Comments to the California Department of Fish and Game
    July 24, 2006 Ryan Broderick, Director California Department of Fish and Game 1416 Ninth Street, 12th Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Improving efficiency of California’s fish hatchery system Dear Director Broderick: On behalf of the Pacific Rivers Council and Center for Biological Diversity, we are writing to express our concerns about the state’s fish hatchery and stocking system and to recommend needed changes that will ensure that the system does not negatively impact California’s native biological diversity. This letter is an update to our letter of August 31, 2005. With this letter, we are enclosing many of the scientific studies we relied on in developing this letter. Fish hatcheries and the stocking of fish into lakes and streams cause numerous measurable, significant environmental effects on California ecosystems. Based on these impacts, numerous policy changes are needed to ensure that the Department of Fish and Game’s (“DFG”) operation of the state’s hatchery and stocking program do not adversely affect California’s environment. Further, as currently operated, the state’s hatchery and stocking program do not comply with the California Environmental Quality Act, Administrative Procedures Act, California Endangered Species Act, and federal Endangered Species Act. The impacts to California’s environment, and needed policy changes to bring the state’s hatchery and stocking program into compliance with applicable state and federal laws, are described below. I. FISH STOCKING NEGATIVELY IMPACTS CALIFORNIA’S NATIVE SALMONIDS, INCLUDING THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES Introduced salmonids negatively impact native salmonids in a variety of ways. Moyle, et. al. (1996) notes that “Introduction of non-native fish species has also been the single biggest factor associated with fish declines in the Sierra Nevada.” Moyle also notes that introduced species are contributing to the decline of 18 species of native Sierra Nevada fish species, and are a major factor in the decline of eight of those species.

    Welcome to the 32nd Annual Wild Flower Hotline, brought to you by the Theodore Payne Foundation, a non-profit plant nursery, seed source, book store, and education center dedicated to the preservation of wild flowers and California native plants. This a report for March 21, 2014. New reports will be posted each Friday through the end of May. The Mojave Desert is still the place to be this week, although I will include a few more good sights as many of you are starting Spring Break and may want to explore other areas as well. Let’s start with our first report from the Southern Sierra near Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. The park region has had a dry season. Blooming appears to be early and short, but along Hwy 198 near Sequoia National Park look for Western redbud (Cercis occidentalis) in full bloom now. There have been spotty sightings of silver bush lupine (Lupinus albifrons) as well. There are bright orange patches of fiddleneck (Amsinckia menziesii) and the California poppies (Eschscholzia californica) are just starting to appear. Further north at Yosemite/Hetch Hetchy, flowers are starting to bloom, but it is still early in the season. Because of the Rim Fire last year, the only trail available is the one from the dam to Wapama and Rancheria Falls. (The trail to Poopenaut Valley is closed.) In the moist areas look for red maids (Calandrinia ciliata), and a few harlequin lupines (Lupinus stiversii), which are just getting started. Some of the larger pools of flowing water still contain Sierra newts (Taricha sierrae).

  • Statement of Tom Fry (Acting) Director, Bureau of Land Management on H.R
    STATEMENT OF TOM FRY (ACTING) DIRECTOR, BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT ON H.R. 15 OTAY MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS ACT OF 1999 BEFORE THE HOUSE RESOURCES SUBCOMMITTEE ON NATIONAL PARKS AND PUBLIC LANDS February 4, 1999 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee, I appreciate the opportunity to testify on H.R. 15, the Otay Mountain Wilderness Act of 1999. I want to commend the bill's sponsor, Congressman Brian Bilbray (R-CA) for introducing this legislation which recognizes the unique nature of the area by protecting its many outstanding and precious natural resources for generations to come. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) strongly supports H.R. 15. We also recognize and appreciate the Subcommittee's work last Congress which amended H.R. 3950, the Otay Mountain Wilderness bill, also introduced by Mr. Bilbray. Our only objection to H.R. 3950 was the Section 6(b) language on Border Enforcement, Drug Interdiction, and Wildland Fire Protection. The amended Section 6(b) language, which appears in H.R. 15, was requested by the Administration and is in keeping with the mandate and intent of the 1964 Wilderness Act. We thank Congressman Bilbray and the Subcommittee Members for addressing our unusual and important access needs in the area. I also want to comment briefly on Secretary Babbitt's recent tour of Otay Mountain. While there, the Secretary met with many individuals and local officials committed to preserving the special resources of this area. He was very impressed, encouraged, persuaded and enlightened by the diverse group he traveled with including Representative Bob Filner, San Diego County representatives, the staffs to Senators Feinstein and Boxer, staff to Congressman Brian Bilbray, the San Diego Association of Governments, the California Biodiversity Council, the Sierra Club, the Endangered Habitat League, The Wilderness Society, the U.S.
