“Protecting California’s natural resources and safeguarding its public resources go hand in hand, this first-of-its-kind partnership brings together Tribal knowledge, scientific expertise, and coordinated public investment to restore Clear Lake. By acting together now, we can improve water quality, protect the Chi (Ṣátti), strengthen surrounding communities, and help prevent far greater environmental and economic costs in the future. That is responsible stewardship and it is how we deliver lasting value for Californians.” - State Controller Malia M. Cohen, Chair of the California State Lands Commission.
