@ianjames.bsky.socialReposted by @ianjames.bsky.socialThe Scott River provides vital habitat for salmon. But this year, portions of the river have been transformed into stretches of dry sand and gravel.

@ianjames.bsky.socialPublic concern has been mounting since @rosannaxia.bsky.social first exposed the little-known history of DDT dumping off the California coast.
