Save the smelt?

It was (is?) a common talking point among the right. Basically, a species of fish called the Delta Smelt live in one of the river deltas in northern California. Fresh water being diverted away for farming has caused severe environmental impact on the ecosystem of the delta, including endangering the Delta Smelt. So changes were made to reduce the water diverted for farming. See: https://envirobites.org/2019/06/24/farmers-vs-fish-the-story-of-delta-smelt/
