California and Biden administration officials on Tuesday announced new ecosystem restoration plans for the dwindling Salton Sea, where conservation efforts aim to improve regional air quality and support wildlife. … As the restoration project proceeds, state officials said that they aim to revive the region’s ecological value by creating networks of ponds and wetlands, providing habitats for fish and birds and suppressing dust within the area. The Salton Sea is one of many salty lakes around the world that has been stirring up dust and worsening air pollution as it dries up.
