The Delta Stewardship Council was created in legislation to achieve the state mandated coequal goals for the Delta. "'Coequal goals' means the two goals of providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring, and enhancing the Delta ecosystem. The coequal goals shall be achieved in a manner that protects and enhances the unique cultural, recreational, natural resource, and agricultural values of the Delta as an evolving place." (CA Water Code ยง85054)
| The 2-Gates Fish Protection Demonstration Project has been proposed as an adaptive management experiment in using operable gates in the central Delta for protection of sensitive species and management of water supply. The project proponent has assembled a Summary Document that describes the project goals and objectives, hypotheses, conceptual model, and adaptive management framework. The CALFED Science Program has assembled an Independent Review Panel consisting of national experts who will review the 2-Gates Project Summary Document prior to the meeting, participate in discussion with the proponents, and produce a Review Panel report. |
