Guest commentary: Now is the time to get the job done and fulfill the voters’ wishes. California needs to break ground on Sites Reservoir. The birds of our Pacific Flyway are counting on us. 📝: Jeff McCreary

Conservation organizations like Ducks Unlimited support Sites Reservoir because of the benefits it would provide to the millions of migratory birds that stop in the Central Valley on their journey along the Pacific Flyway. This water also could be spread on the landscape in the winter to provide food and a safe haven for young salmon.

At the same time, only about half of the 500,000 acres of rice that is normally planted in the Sacramento Valley received water last year. Rice fields enrich the biodiversity of the region by providing habitat for more than 225 different species, and they are extremely important for the Pacific Flyway’s waterfowl.

Posterior CTCF sites then successively act as transient insulators, regulating the timed transcription of more posterior-located genes.
