Issues: Animals and Wildlife Environment
U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-5) today announced more than $4.3 million in U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grants to restore river habitat and improve water quality in Napa and Sonoma Counties. The grants are part of the $8.7 million in federal funds awarded to local and state organizations for projects to restore tidal marshes, river habitat, and improve water quality in and around San Francisco Bay.
"These grants will benefit our communities, wildlife and the long-term health of the greater San Francisco Bay estuary," said Thompson. "By improving water quality and restoring habitat, we can help make sure these important natural resources, and the jobs and businesses that depend on them, are protected and kept strong."
