If you made the effort to do a bit of research, you might have understood why this fish needs protection...
Monday Senator Dean Florez is hoping to convince people that this plan is not only good for smelt, but for the public as well.
There are about 5 to 7 centimeters long and feed mostly on zooplankton, but they also play an important role in the Sacramento Delta's food chain.
Brent Walthall, the Asst. General Manager of the Kern County Water Agency, said, "We are making sure that we have a strong Delta Smelt population which is beneficial to the Delta ecosystem, and in turn helpful to Kern's water supply because, unless the health of the Delta is in good shape, our water will not be in good shape."
The end scenario: fish such as salmon feed on the smelt and if the fish can't eat, eventually humans will have less to eat.
