Thanks for this post! A few thousand homeschool debaters, many in California, have marine natural resources as their topic. I’ve been posting on the economics of water policies and article on with link to this post is here:

I’ll be at a big homeschool debate tournament in Modesto next Thurs-Sat., and the national tournament for Stoa debate on this topic is being held at Cal. State San Marcos in May. Modesto community judge page here: https://modesto10.homeschooldebate.net/judges

There are fifty homeschool speech and debate clubs in California where students are developing speech and debate research and speaking skills. Ideally students will learn market economics and Constitutional principles, and learn the many ways economic freedom promotes justice and prosperity.

The environmentalists and their fellow travelers insist on” Environmental Justice”. Seems to me the fish should be subject to the same rules as us, We must demand fairness for us all, no special treatment for the big fish. No Water No Peace. A lower water level lowers all critters.

Great article and very educational, I really enjoyed it and on that I am serious.

Good stuff,Wayne.
We always hear the “…agriculture uses 80% of California’s water” mantra every time the water issue is discussed.
Very enlightening to see the real numbers.
