Practice: What Does That Look Like?
 What policies would Delta residents support for adapting to environmental changes in the region? Given nine choices in a recent survey of Delta residents, only one garnered majority support: increasing state funding for sustainable agriculture.
For an example of that, look no farther than Staten Island, where a state grant and help from Fish Friendly Farming reduced both water diversions from the river and a staggering power bill.

Harmful Algal Blooms Report: West Sac Advisory Lowered from 'Danger' to 'Caution'
 Harmful algal bloom danger advisories remain at the Big Break Regional Shoreline boat launch, Contra Loma Reservoir, and at two sites in Discovery Bay, where there is also a warning and numerous caution advisories.
But a danger advisory at the Lake Washington Sailing Club in West Sacramento has been reduced to a caution.
There is a caution on the San Joaquin River at Windmill Cove, and there are visual observations near and southeast of the Clifton Forebay.
The advice: Stay out of the water. Keep pets out of the water, and do not let them eat scum from the shore. Do not eat shellfish from the water body.
