Body coloration is olive-green to blue-gray on the back with silvery to brassy sides and white on the belly. It is easily recognized by the seven or eight prominent black uninterrupted horizontal stripes along the sides. The stripes are often interrupted or broken and are usually absent on young fish of less than six inches. The striper is longer and sleeker and has a larger head than its close and similar looking relative, the white bass, which rarely exceeds three pounds.

The Ogallala aquifer which waters the world's bread basket on the American prairies is being 'mined' at such a rate that it will be exhausted within 50 years. In Central California, the rate of water removal from aquifers exceeds the rate of refilling by 5000 billion gallons. In Florida, over 1,000 wells have had to be closed due to pollution. In parts of India, water tables have fallen by 25-30 metres in the past decade. In Northern India, double cropping of wheat and rice has led to a fall in the water table of a metre a year, in a country whose population is growing by 17 million a year. Each year the river Rhine carries across the German-Dutch border 1,000 tonnes of lead, 400 tonnes of phenols, 322 tonnes of arsenic, 80 tonnes of cadmium, 20 tonnes of PCBs and 16 tonnes of mercury 25% of China's lakes are classified as having eutrophic nutrient overload due to human pollution while 33% of American medium to large lakes are similarly stricken. 5 million people in Britain drink water which breaches EC recommended safety levels. Pollution of the Great Lakes in North America is such that 25% of fish caught is not fit for consumption. 300 million gallons of sewage are dumped into British coastal waters each day. 90% of Brazil's sewage is discharged untreated. California's Wetlands: A Briefing A Briefing on California Water Issues California’s Wetlands: A Briefing, published in 2000. Special thanks go to the CALFED Bay-Delta Program that funded development of this guide and these Internet excerpts. CALIFORNIA’S WETLANDS: A BRIEFING Wetlands are among the most important ecosystems in the world. They produce high levels of oxygen, filter toxic chemicals out of water, reduce flooding and erosion, recharge groundwater and provide a diverse range of recreational opportunities from fishing and hunting to photography. They also serve as critical habitat for wildlife, including a large percentage of plants and animals on California’s endangered species list. Where once Californians saw wetlands as mucky, stinky, buggy and sometimes unhealthy places, many now see an environmental, economic and aesthetic value in wetlands. Within the last two decades, there has been discussion of wetlands’ value to individual communities, agriculture and the state economy. As the state has grown into one of the world’s leading economies, Californians have developed and transformed the state’s marshes, swamps and tidal flats, losing as much as 90 percent of the original wetlands acreage a greater percentage of loss than any other state in the nation. While the conversion of wetlands has slowed, the loss in California is significant and it affects a range of factors from water quality to quality of life. Wetlands still remain in every part of the state, with the greatest concentration is in the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Bay-Delta) Estuary and its watershed, which includes the Central Valley. While wetlands in all areas of the state are important, the Bay-Delta and related wetlands take on special significance because they are part of the vast complex of waterways that provide two-thirds of California’s drinking water. A healthy estuary and healthy wetlands have an impact on nearly every Californian. Californians have always chosen to live and work amid wetlands. State and federal agencies, regional boards, agriculture, industry, conservationists and other concerned citizens are working to navigate issues and conflicting needs to find solutions for all stakeholders in wetlands issues. Various attempts have been undertaken to slow the loss of wetlands. Today, many stakeholders are working to increase wetlands acreage in the state. This is a particularly relevant time to examine the role of wetlands in California because of the pace of growth. California is expected to grow by another 12 million people in the next 20 years. While all of California will feel the impact of more people, the Central Valley will experience the most dramatic population growth more than 50 percent. The Bay Area has experienced significant economic and population growth in the last decade and this will continue. With the increase in population will come additional pressures for changes in land use, with potential impacts to wetlands in the valley and elsewhere. The key to the state’s water future and the key to wetlands health is balance. Ways must be found to balance ecosystem restoration with water system reliability and existing land use while addressing competing issues, concerns and needs of all water users. What is a Wetland? In general, California’s wetlands are the bogs, swamps, estuaries and marshes connected to streams, groundwater, rivers, lakes and coastlines. The majority of California’s wetlands are semi-aquatic links in a water-based chain extending from the Sierra Nevada to the Pacific Ocean. While wetlands have characteristics of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, they are neither. They form their own unique systems, which typically include specific types of soils supporting plants adapted to the soils and a watery environment. Despite their name, wetlands are not always wet, though characteristically, they experience periodic saturation. Wetlands can be permanent or seasonal. Permanent wetlands tend to stay saturated with water, and in the case of tidal wetlands are flooded or drained twice each day. Seasonal wetlands such as tule fields and vernal pools experience saturation or flooding only part of the year. Even though water may be present only a few weeks out of every year, seasonal wetlands nonetheless share with permanent wetlands the soils, plants and animal life characteristic of "wetlands." Another classification divides wetlands into those associated with oceans (marine and estuarine), lakes (lacustrine), rivers and streams (riverine) and those found in inland areas including marshes, swamps and bogs (palustrine). The vast majority of California’s historical and remaining wetlands are estuarine and palustrine. Many Californians are aware only of coastal and tidal wetlands, yet the majority of California’s wetlands lie in freshwater environments. Freshwater marshes occur in ponds and slow moving streams vegetated with cattails, sedges and rushes. Riparian wetlands, noted for their woody vegetation, occur on the banks of streams, rivers and lakes. Bogs have peat soils composed of peat and are vegetated mostly with mosses. Vernal pools form unique, short-lived ecosystems in shallow depressions in the spring. Benefits and Values of Wetlands "I have never believed that the great usefulness of wetlands to people is why they are ‘good,’ but the last 20th-century concept that they aren’t bad at least indicates modest progress of thought," wrote Ted Williams in Audubon Magazine. Williams’ comment underscores an unresolvable controversy: What is the value of wetlands and is their value to be judged entirely in human terms? Nature and commerce, however, have begun to combine on the issue of wetlands, making their "value" more quantifiable. Water Quality Water passing through wetlands contains organisms, sediments, nutrients and pollutants that could degrade groundwater or the water quality of rivers, lakes and estuaries. The vegetation and soil in the wetland filter the water and do such a remarkable job of absorbing nutrients and contaminants that they have been called the "kidneys of the landscape." Some wetland plants, such as tules, reeds and cattails, are remarkably effective biofilters, breaking down harmful pollutants into simple forms which not only can be used for food for other organisms, but also can make water easier to treat for urban uses. One acre of wetlands can filter 7.3 million gallons of water a year. Flood Control Wetlands can reduce the effect of floods by temporarily storing flood waters and detaining the flow of water through the sponging effect of the soil and the barrier effect of the vegetation. After absorbing and detaining this water, wetlands slowly release it. Wetlands expert Bill Streever writes in Bringing Back the Wetlands that wetlands along the Mississippi River at one time could store the water volume of 60 days’ worth of river flow and that loss of these wetlands compounded the 1993 flood that left 70,000 people homeless. Groundwater Recharge Some wetlands recharge underground aquifers that provide urban and agricultural water supplies. Their benefit to the aquifer is not only the filtering service they provide, but also their ability to absorb and hold floodwaters so that a larger amount of the precipitation is stored as groundwater and not lost as surface runoff. Fisheries and Shellfish Wetlands provide direct spawning and rearing habitats and food supply that support both freshwater and marine fisheries, a $110-billion-a-year industry in California. The San Francisco Bay Estuary is home to 28 native and 28 non-native fish populations in addition to salmon and steelhead that migrate through the Delta on their journey to and from the ocean. The tidal lands of Humboldt Bay produce 90 percent of all the oysters harvested in California. Top - G - GARBAGE - How Can My Community Reduce Waste?

California's Wetlands: A Briefing
A Briefing on California Water Issues
California’s Wetlands: A Briefing, published in 2000. Special thanks go to the CALFED Bay-Delta Program that funded development of this guide and these Internet excerpts.
CALIFORNIA’S WETLANDS: A BRIEFING
Wetlands are among the most important ecosystems in the world. They produce high levels of oxygen, filter toxic chemicals out of water, reduce flooding and erosion, recharge groundwater and provide a diverse range of recreational opportunities from fishing and hunting to photography. They also serve as critical habitat for wildlife, including a large percentage of plants and animals on California’s endangered species list.
Where once Californians saw wetlands as mucky, stinky, buggy and sometimes unhealthy places, many now see an environmental, economic and aesthetic value in wetlands. Within the last two decades, there has been discussion of wetlands’ value to individual communities, agriculture and the state economy.
As the state has grown into one of the world’s leading economies, Californians have developed and transformed the state’s marshes, swamps and tidal flats, losing as much as 90 percent of the original wetlands acreage a greater percentage of loss than any other state in the nation. While the conversion of wetlands has slowed, the loss in California is significant and it affects a range of factors from water quality to quality of life.
Wetlands still remain in every part of the state, with the greatest concentration is in the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Bay-Delta) Estuary and its watershed, which includes the Central Valley. While wetlands in all areas of the state are important, the Bay-Delta and related wetlands take on special significance because they are part of the vast complex of waterways that provide two-thirds of California’s drinking water. A healthy estuary and healthy wetlands have an impact on nearly every Californian.
Californians have always chosen to live and work amid wetlands. State and federal agencies, regional boards, agriculture, industry, conservationists and other concerned citizens are working to navigate issues and conflicting needs to find solutions for all stakeholders in wetlands issues. Various attempts have been undertaken to slow the loss of wetlands. Today, many stakeholders are working to increase wetlands acreage in the state.
This is a particularly relevant time to examine the role of wetlands in California because of the pace of growth. California is expected to grow by another 12 million people in the next 20 years. While all of California will feel the impact of more people, the Central Valley will experience the most dramatic population growth more than 50 percent. The Bay Area has experienced significant economic and population growth in the last decade and this will continue. With the increase in population will come additional pressures for changes in land use, with potential impacts to wetlands in the valley and elsewhere.
The key to the state’s water future and the key to wetlands health is balance. Ways must be found to balance ecosystem restoration with water system reliability and existing land use while addressing competing issues, concerns and needs of all water users.
What is a Wetland?
In general, California’s wetlands are the bogs, swamps, estuaries and marshes connected to streams, groundwater, rivers, lakes and coastlines. The majority of California’s wetlands are semi-aquatic links in a water-based chain extending from the Sierra Nevada to the Pacific Ocean.
While wetlands have characteristics of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, they are neither. They form their own unique systems, which typically include specific types of soils supporting plants adapted to the soils and a watery environment. Despite their name, wetlands are not always wet, though characteristically, they experience periodic saturation.
Wetlands can be permanent or seasonal. Permanent wetlands tend to stay saturated with water, and in the case of tidal wetlands are flooded or drained twice each day. Seasonal wetlands such as tule fields and vernal pools experience saturation or flooding only part of the year. Even though water may be present only a few weeks out of every year, seasonal wetlands nonetheless share with permanent wetlands the soils, plants and animal life characteristic of "wetlands."
Another classification divides wetlands into those associated with oceans (marine and estuarine), lakes (lacustrine), rivers and streams (riverine) and those found in inland areas including marshes, swamps and bogs (palustrine). The vast majority of California’s historical and remaining wetlands are estuarine and palustrine.
Many Californians are aware only of coastal and tidal wetlands, yet the majority of California’s wetlands lie in freshwater environments. Freshwater marshes occur in ponds and slow moving streams vegetated with cattails, sedges and rushes. Riparian wetlands, noted for their woody vegetation, occur on the banks of streams, rivers and lakes. Bogs have peat soils composed of peat and are vegetated mostly with mosses. Vernal pools form unique, short-lived ecosystems in shallow depressions in the spring.
Benefits and Values of Wetlands
"I have never believed that the great usefulness of wetlands to people is why they are ‘good,’ but the last 20th-century concept that they aren’t bad at least indicates modest progress of thought," wrote Ted Williams in Audubon Magazine.
Williams’ comment underscores an unresolvable controversy: What is the value of wetlands and is their value to be judged entirely in human terms? Nature and commerce, however, have begun to combine on the issue of wetlands, making their "value" more quantifiable.
Water Quality
Water passing through wetlands contains organisms, sediments, nutrients and pollutants that could degrade groundwater or the water quality of rivers, lakes and estuaries. The vegetation and soil in the wetland filter the water and do such a remarkable job of absorbing nutrients and contaminants that they have been called the "kidneys of the landscape." Some wetland plants, such as tules, reeds and cattails, are remarkably effective biofilters, breaking down harmful pollutants into simple forms which not only can be used for food for other organisms, but also can make water easier to treat for urban uses. One acre of wetlands can filter 7.3 million gallons of water a year.
Flood Control
Wetlands can reduce the effect of floods by temporarily storing flood waters and detaining the flow of water through the sponging effect of the soil and the barrier effect of the vegetation. After absorbing and detaining this water, wetlands slowly release it. Wetlands expert Bill Streever writes in Bringing Back the Wetlands that wetlands along the Mississippi River at one time could store the water volume of 60 days’ worth of river flow and that loss of these wetlands compounded the 1993 flood that left 70,000 people homeless.
Groundwater Recharge
Some wetlands recharge underground aquifers that provide urban and agricultural water supplies. Their benefit to the aquifer is not only the filtering service they provide, but also their ability to absorb and hold floodwaters so that a larger amount of the precipitation is stored as groundwater and not lost as surface runoff.
Fisheries and Shellfish
Wetlands provide direct spawning and rearing habitats and food supply that support both freshwater and marine fisheries, a $110-billion-a-year industry in California. The San Francisco Bay Estuary is home to 28 native and 28 non-native fish populations in addition to salmon and steelhead that migrate through the Delta on their journey to and from the ocean. The tidal lands of Humboldt Bay produce 90 percent of all the oysters harvested in California.
