Thank you, @CalNatResources, for hosting the Salmon Strategy Roundtable! Key partners & agencies came together to identify opportunities to advance the #SalmonStrategy. TNC was proud to participate alongside our CA Salmon & Steelhead Coalition partners (@CalTrout,@TroutUnlimited)

We must honor voter intent by ensuring Prop 4 funds additional nature-based climate solutions, rather than backfilling existing climate commitments. TNC looks forward to working with the #CALeg to maximize the positive impacts of Prop 4.
