Sen. McGuire talks salmon species ‘collapse’ amid drought in West
“Bleak” and “grim” were words frequently used Tuesday morning as part of a joint legislative hearing on the crisis in California’s salmon fisheries amid the historic drought. How bad it is during the current drought in the West, however, was up for debate. “There is no way that this year isn’t going to be worse than it was in 2014-15, when we saw 95% (of salmon) dying off,” said North Coast state Sen. Mike McGuire, who was the chair of the hearing.
