Posted Thu Jul 10 2008: from San Francisco Chronicle:
U.S. proposes to put smelt on endangered list http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1215725845
"The delta smelt, a tiny but important fish in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, could officially become "endangered" under a proposal announced Wednesday by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Smelt are an indicator of the delta's health, and nearly 750,000 acres of farmland and 25 million people from the Bay Area to Central and Southern California rely on water from the delta."
