San Francisco – Bay Area fishermen announced today they will oppose Proposition 1, the State Water Bond, at a San Francisco Bay news conference on Friday, Oct. 3. “Prop. 1 is one more shovel of dirt on the grave of our salmon, crab and other Pacific fisheries,” said Larry Collins, of the San Francisco Crab Boat Association. “Building more dams to hold water we don’t have is misplaced spending and harms the businesses, families and communities that depend upon our salmon, crab and other fisheries.”
