Senate hearing Wednesday to discuss health of state’s salmon, kelp forests
On Wednesday, State Sen. Mike McGuire (D-Healdsburg) will convene the 49th annual Zeke Grader Fisheries Forum “which will be focused on some of the most critical environmental issues facing California,” his office announced. According to a press release, the forum will feature “some of the nation’s top fishery experts (providing) a much-anticipated update on California’s iconic salmon population amidst this historic drought, (as well as) an important briefing on where the (Dungeness crab) season stands. Also, there will be a first-of-its kind panel on the collapse of the Golden State’s kelp forest and what’s being done to bring the ‘redwoods of the sea’ back to life.”
