The Salton Sea is the site of one of the largest man-made environmental disasters in the western United States yet most of us haven't heard of it. The thing is, we can fix it. My Camera Kit: ***CORRECTION: *The Sea is NOT “Completely Toxic“. Millions of healthy animals live in it and depend on it, people also fish & swim. It is Class A Rec 1 water for boating and fishing. There are heavy-metal toxins in the sediment that become detrimental if they are airborne. This is the biggest reason we need to keep it wet. The Sea is very much alive and the algaes consume the extra nutrients, which pulls oxygen out of the water, occasionally causing fish die offs. *The Sea is not a complete accident; it has filled and dried over the millennia, and would have likely been here if we hadn't farmed, diked and moved the water over and over. It was once connected to the Gulf of California, and since then has even been a much larger freshwater lake, Lake Cahuilla. Ancestors of the same tribes
