Episode Synopsis "The Future of the Delta Ecosystem and its Fish"

Peter Moyle and William Bennett, UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences, address four basic questions about fish in their role as major drivers of ecosystem-related policy in the Delta: 1) what species are important for making decisions that affect ecosystem function? 2) what are likely attributes of a future Delta ecosystem? 3) what are likely effects on fish of the four strategic water export alternatives? and 4) what actions could improve the Delta for desirable fish species?
