This item is an Original Hand-Pulled Lithograph titled "San Joaquin River Delta" featuring: fig.1 Potamogeton crispus [invasive] curly-leaf pondweed • fig.2 Aythya affinis [native] lesser scaup • fig.3 Hypomesus transpacificus [endangered] delta smelt • fig.4 Potamocorbula amurensis [invasive] Asian brackishwater clam • fig.5 Aythya affinis [egg] lesser scaup

The diving duck, the lesser scaup, and the endangered delta smelt are being impacted by the invasive brackish water clam and curly-leaf pondweed! Specifically, this bivalve is an aggressive filter feeder that reproduces abundantly and leaves nothing for the endemic fish only found in the San Joaquin Delta! The scaups eat these clams which have taken over the environment and lose reproductive viability.

Created for the Southern Graphics Council International (SGCI) 2022 conference in Madison, WI for the alumni portfolio, Points of Departure.
