The Salton Sea is ill.
Efforts are underway to possibly bring it back to health.
The problem is money and political will. Depending on the season, the Salton Sea can resemble pea soup or burnt coffee. With high evaporation and no natural way to flush itself, California's largest lake is essentially a salty, agriculture waste water pit. Still, it supports one of North America's most productive fisheries, thousands of migratory birds and even some aquatic sports. Made long ago by mistake, the Salton Sea suffers from pollution and high salinity.
