smelt: 9th Circuit
decision<br>
protects people as much
as fish</strong></span></div>
<p><em>By Trip Van Noppen and
Barbara Barrigan-Parilla</em></p>
<p><em>Special to the Mercury
News</em></p>
<p>Californians who care about
a sustainable water future
got a big court victory in
March that upholds
protections for a
much-maligned little animal:
the delta smelt.</p>
<p>The ruling handed down by
the 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals keeps in place
science-based guidelines for
managing water flows through
the Delta at levels that
protect the imperiled fish
and help to restore the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
ecosystem.</p>
<p>This victory isn’t really
about the fish, however. The
smelt are an indicator
species, a canary in the
coal mine whose health
illustrates the overall
well-being of the Bay Delta.</p>
<p>The tiny fish native to the
Delta once thrived, but due
to over-pumping of fresh
water, largely for
industrial-scale
agriculture, it is teetering
on the edge of extinction.</p>
<p>Many other species that
rely on freshwater in the
Delta, such as salmon, a
$1.4 billion industry, have
declined alongside their
little silver cousins. Our
efforts to improve flows
through the Delta for the
smelt have beneficial
effects on the entire
ecosystem and the complex
web of life it supports. <a
