LOS ANGELES Amid intensifying drought, state water regulators voted Tuesday to enact an emergency order barring thousands of Californians primarily farmers from using stream and river water.
California s complex water rights system is designed to allocate water use during times of shortage and such curtailments, while rare, are not unheard of. But the scope of Tuesday s order which includes thousands of senior water rights across a wide swath of the state is unprecedented, officials said. ....

Cultural biases impact native fish, too


This spotted gar in the Louisiana Bayou is an ancient and native fish species.
From art to religion to land use, much of what is deemed valuable in the United States was shaped centuries ago by the white male perspective. Fish, it turns out, are no exception.
A study published in Fisheries Magazine, a journal of the American Fisheries Society, explores how colonialist attitudes toward native fishes were rooted in elements of racism and sexism. It describes how those attitudes continue to shape fisheries management today, often to the detriment of native fishes.
The study, led by the University of California, Davis, with Nicholls State University and a national team of fisheries researchers, found that nearly all states have policies that encourage overfishing native species. The study maintains that the term “rough fish” is pejorative and degrading to native fish. ....
