  • Let nature take its coarse and reverse what was done.

  • @Orionx30 If only we could leave nature alone to do it's job, but when we intervene should we also correct our intervention?

  • very interesting video thanks

  • @MrBrucebracey So very glad you liked it. The Salton Sea is a wonderful place.

  • If the Salton Sea has come and gone ... these birds are still here ... there must be other areas the go in the other times...

  • @flamingaxe791 The Salton Sea is home to over 190 million tilapia (fish). Over 400 species of birds. The vast majority of the entire population of the American White Pelican, dozens of species of reptiles, mammals and invertebrates, all dependent on the waters of the Salton Sea. We all have a right to an opinion, but if you call this sea "dead", most likely you are in the camp of those who are killing it. Just how would you define "alive" if this place isn't?

  • @GeneralRap Keep in mind that only this incarnation of the sea was "man made". Man actually just helped it along. The lake is a recurring natural process of the Colorado River. Thanks for your comment...... Bret

  • @airtioteclint It was actually a huge deal in the 1950/60's, but unfortunately due to its lack of an outlet and the simple fact that it is almost entirely fed by agricultural runoff, the water has turned toxic over the years. The sea itself was the product of an industrial accident, and is in fact man made; though obviously not intentionally.

  • The saulton sea is a dead sea, stop glorifying it like you are.

  • very interesting video thanks

  • @airtioteclint In the 50's and 60's it was a big deal. Great fishing, power-boat racing, beach-parties etc. Now, like so many wonderful things of the past it is forgotten and discarded. That's why we made the film. So people could see it and perhaps understand it. Thanks for you comment and interest in the Salton Sea.
