Salton Sea clean-up this Saturday: more volunteers needed

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on October 31, 2007 at 5:42 am

From Riverside’s Press-Enterprise:

It’s a big job and can be a bit smelly. But so far, about 200 people are signed up for Saturday’s dead-fish cleanup. More people are needed.

“People do care about the (Salton) Sea,” said Dan Cain, project manager for the Salton Sea Authority. “We’re trying to raise community awareness, because people just want to know how they can help. And we’re providing that opportunity on Saturday.”

The Fish Cleanup Task Force, created by the authority after the massive 2006 fish die-off at Varner Harbor, is spearheading the campaign.

The die-offs at the sea generally occur in the summer when the desert heat robs the lake of oxygen.

Interested cleanup volunteers should call 760-564-4888.

The event will include a continental breakfast beforehand, and lunch afterwards. To read the rest of this article from Riverside’s Press-Enterprise, click here.
