	Fish: Delta drop sparks fears of ecological shift http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1200096238 "Five Delta fish species continue marching toward extinction, according to new data released Wednesday, a result that some observers warn may signify a major ecological shift in the West Coast's largest estuary.... record-low numbers for three species: longfin smelt, Sacramento splittail and American shad. Two others, Delta smelt and striped bass, posted near-record lows."

One telling quote: "I've always maintained that a world that is not safe for fish is probably not long safe for little boys and girls."
