In a political article, drought threatens wildlife, ecosystems, Michael Gardner points out, "there are potential risks to water quality, fears of increased water “air pollution in the already dusty Central Valley and a possible build-up of salinity in rivers that could be harmful to fish and humans.” Aquatic animals are clearly threatened by low-level rivers and streams and need to be saved that there are some organizations working to protect endangered fish, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA is currently focusing on creating long-term monitoring plans to help save California's drought-stricken animals with practices such as distributing populations across different areas so they are not targeted as a single group, and managing water systems to increase cold water and flow. more suitable rates for juveniles (noaa fishing). Hopefully, with the help of programs like these, there is still a bright future ahead for sea creatures and their animals
