Evaporating Shorelines

Great Salt Lake Minerals Corporation received a permit from the State of Utah to expand their industrial operations. 91,000 acres of shorelines, wetlands, and water on the Great Salt Lake are in jeopardy. Fifteen non-profit organizations have joined together to form Keep The Lake Great to protect these 91,000 acres. The group is appealing to the Army Corps of Engineers to stop this project. This documentary includes commentary from association leaders, scientists, attorneys, and residents of Utah, about the value of the lake from the scientific viewpoint to the aesthetics of the lake to recreational usage. Includes footage of the amazing birds, plants, and animals that are crucial to this ecosystem.
