The Salton Sea is 225 feet below sea level
It was created by a flood of the Colorado River in 1905
That was not stopped for two years
The flood created the largest lake in California
In the 1950s it was a bustling tourist destination
30% of the total population of the American White Pelican live there
The salinity of the lake is rising so quickly that within a decade or so it will be completely dead
The only fish in the lake now are tilapia
If you have a valid California fishing license you can catch as many as you want
There are over 2 million of them in the Salton Sea
They are tasty in fish tacos
With salsa verde and lots of melted cheese
is that pirate mike in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
