California Native Fish Face Extinction Threats

California's native fish species are facing almost certain extinction events due to a range of threats, including habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these species, but more needs to be done to address the scale and urgency of the crisis. The state's native fish, including trout and salmon, are an important part of the ecosystem and play a vital role in maintaining the health of the state's rivers and streams. As a popular destination for kayak fishing and freshwater angling, California's native fish are a valuable resource that must be protected.
