The Delta Protection Commission was created by the Delta Protection Act of 1992 (Act), codified in the Public Resources Code and most recently amended in November 2009.

The Act declared that the Delta is a natural resource of statewide, national, and international significance, containing irreplaceable resources, and that it is the policy of the State to recognize, preserve, and protect those resources of the Delta for the use and enjoyment of current and future generations, in a manner that protects and enhances the unique values of the Delta as an evolving place.

The Commission is a forum for Delta residents to engage in decisions regarding actions to recognize and enhance the unique cultural, recreational, and agricultural resources of the Delta. The Commission is also guided by regulations found in the California Code of Regulations, Title XIV, Division 9.

The Commission meets six times a year, in odd months, and the September 2023 meeting will be held Sept. 21 at 5 p.m. at The Village West Marina and Resort in Stockton.
