Its decline is sad. Its loss is a potential disaster. Thanks for watching… Bret

I grew up in the Riverside/Indio area and visited the Sea often. Back 35 years ago, it was a terrific place to boat, ski and fish. We caught large Corvina on mudsuckers, which was the bait of choice for that fish. I went back a few years ago and was saddened to see the decline of the entire area. Motels and other businesses closed, abandoned buildings. Still, the place has a certain attraction, especially in the fall and winter, when it is dry and warm. I hope a solution is found.

I think my mother and older brother who I haven’t seen in 39 years live near here, in Thermal and El Centro.

The sea IS a natural event of nature. For thousands of years the Colorado River filled the Basin building a huge lake. When it overflowed, the Colorado River turned south to empty into the Gulf of California. This cycle repeated throughout time and the wetlands followed the river. Now the Colorado is all used up. It does not flow to the gulf. If the sea disappears now, so do the wetlands. The only way to to not “interfere” with nature is to remove the dams on the colorado. Won’t happen.

I understand this filmmaker wanting to save the Sultan Sea. I have been there and it is quite breathe taking. However, I disagree with the claim that we should interfere with nature. It was man’s reckless disregard towards the value of nature which brought this latest sea into being in an environment in which it could not survive without human intervention. We will only be rectifying a misdeed of the past when we do not interfere with nature and let this sea, once again, dry up.

Great video that explains the (most recent) creation of this sea! I hope something will be done very soon to save it. I visited it once in my youth, and found it very haunting but beautiful.
