Coalition Letter: Petition to the California Fish and Game Commission for a Regulation Change Regarding the Striped Bass Slot Limit (Petition Tracking Number 2022-12) Jul 31, 2025 Comment Letters To: Erika Zavaleta, President, California Fish and Game Commission Subject: Petition to the California Fish and Game Commission for a Regulation Change Regarding the Striped Bass Slot Limit (Petition Tracking Number 2022-12) Letter Excerpt: We are writing on behalf of a coalition of water agencies and farming associations (“water and farming coalition”) with respect to Petition 2022-12 (“Striped Bass Petition” or “Petition”). The water and farming coalition represents urban and rural water agencies statewide and the Central Valley’s farming community. Members of the water and farming coalition have raised concerns about striped bass predation on listed fish in the Bay-Delta region over a decades-long period. This is the case because the water and farming communities invest hundreds of millions of dollars each year in efforts to protect native, listed fish species, and predation by non-native striped bass harms those same species we seek to protect.
