Today, with the release of the biological opinions, federal fish agencies and the water agencies held a media call. On the call was Paul Souza, Pacific Southwest Regional Director for US FWS; Barry Thom, West Coast Regional Administrator for NOAA Fisheries; David Murillo, Regional Director for Bureau of Reclamation Mid-Pacific Region; and Michelle Banonis, Assistant Chief Deputy Director at the California Department of Water Resources. 

“By way of background, the California Department of Water Resources and the Bureau of Reclamation have proposed to build the California Water Fix, which is an infrastructure project that would construct two tunnels to convey water from the north to the south Delta. The purpose of Water Fix is to modernize water infrastructure and provide a secure and reliable source of water to meet the needs of farmers and communities, while also addressing the needs of fish and wildlife", said by Pual Souza, Pacific Southwest Regional Director for US Fish and Wildlife Service.
