⚠️ Brannan Island, California State Parks Recreation Area is currently closed until further notice due to environmental hazards following a recent fire. This closure highlights the neglect of infrastructure, lack of security investment, and the Delta's vulnerability to Newsom’s bad water plans.

Are you enjoying the Bay-Delta this summer? ☀️ California’s Bay-Delta is one of the most diverse natural areas with tons of wildlife to admire and recreational areas to enjoy. Wherever your summer takes you, we hope it’s the ✨Bay-Delta✨.

Romanticizing HABs and E.Coli testing in the Delta 🌊🧪 This summer, our Climate Water Advocates are out in the Delta collecting weekly water samples testing for Harmful Algal Blooms and E. Coli. 🍃 Help keep our waterways safe by reporting any strange water quality issues in your area!

The secrets out! 👀 DYK that the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is more than just the largest estuary on the West Coast; it is also home to over 750 distinct plants and animals? From Delta Smelt to Great Blue Heron, each of these species makes the Delta a one-of-a-kind ecosystem!
