There shall be incorporated in the planning and construction of each project those features (including, but not limited to, additional storage capacity) that the department, after giving full consideration to any recommendations which may be made by the Department of Fish and Game, the Department of Parks and Recreation, any federal agency, and any local governmental agency with jurisdiction over the area involved, determines necessary or desirable for the preservation of fish and wildlife, and necessary or desirable to permit, on a year-round basis, full utilization of the project for the enhancement of fish and wildlife and for recreational purposes to the extent that those features are consistent with other uses of the project, if any. It is the intent of the Legislature that there shall be full and close coordination of all planning for the preservation and enhancement of fish and wildlife and for recreation in connection with state water projects by and between the Department of Water Resources, the Department of Parks and Recreation, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, and all appropriate federal and local agencies.
