- Title
Transforming Great Salt Lake from Afterthought to Asset.
- Authors
Sowby, Robert B.
- Abstract
In a 36-year period that coincides with my lifetime, Great Salt Lake, one of the world's largest terminal lakes and a critical ecosystem in the Western Hemisphere, went from its largest to its smallest recorded size. In this opinion piece, I argue that the fundamental problem is that we Utahns and other stakeholders have treated Great Salt Lake as an afterthought instead of an asset. I describe the conditions that led to this point, some transformations now taking place, and the new hope that the lake will recover.
