Oregon is home to one of the only saltwater lakes in the country: Lake Albert. And twice in the past decade the southeast Oregon lake has all but dried up.
The once vibrant landscape has turned into an abandoned salt pan.
On the latest episode of Beat Check with The Oregonian, investigative reporter for the Oregonian and OregonLive Rob Davis discusses why the state prevented an environmental staffer from continuing research once she started making troubling discoveries.
We talked about the lake’s ecological benefits, why he revisited Lake Abert again, why the lake matters in a broader sense and how Oregonians should be thinking about its present and future.
