Why restore a manmade lake?
The Salton Sea is NOT a man-made lake. It is historically a part of the Colorado River Delta. The Salton Sea and its immediate vicinity provide a place of rest, replenishment, and breeding for millions of migrating birds along the Pacific Flyway. If the Sea is lost, southern California will lose its most important inland wetland habitat. Restoring the Sea would preserve land and water that is home to numerous seaside residents, and a place of scenic beauty and bountiful source of recreation for residents and visitors alike.
