Recent reports show no Delta smelt has been observed in the wild since around 2012. Due to the significant population decline, many scientists have considered the species functionally extinct in its natural habitat. The decline was caused by factors like water diversions, invasive species, and changing environmental conditions in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
Water Is Diverted for a Basically Extinct Fish
A 2021 report by Dan Bacher in the Sacramento News revealed that no Delta Smelt has been seen in the wild since 2012.
The last time Delta smelt – an indicator species for the broader ecological health estuary – was found in CDFW’s September survey was in 2015. Only five were caught by state biologists at the time.
After that, the only year that Delta smelt were caught during the four-month survey was in 2016. Eight smelt were found.
The two-inch-long minnow, the Delta Smelt, led misguided Democrats to keep water from flowing to the farmers. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
