In this podcast, we delve into the history of the Salton Sea, once California's greatest treasure and a popular tourist destination. We explore how human intervention caused the sea's creation and how, in the 1970s, it became a national disgrace due to environmental degradation and neglect. We discuss the impacts of the sea's decline on wildlife and human health, and efforts to revive the area's ecosystem. Join us as we uncover the story of the Salton Sea and its importance in California's history.
