Happy Save Mono Lake Day! Today we're celebrating

Happy Save Mono Lake Day! Today we're celebrating 29 years of Mono Lake's protection. On September 28, 1994 the California State Water Resource Control Board issued Decision 1631, amending the City of Los Angeles’ water licenses “to establish fishery protection flows in streams tributary to Mono Lake and to protect Public Trust resources at Mono Lake and in the Mono Lake Basin.”
•
There was urgency in this action back in 1994, and today, as we arrive at the 29th anniversary of this history-making decision, the lake is still 9 vertical feet below the Public Trust lake level—a problem that looms large for the lake, its unique ecosystem, its millions migratory and nesting birds, and the people who care for and rely on this special place.
•
While this year’s formidable lake level rise has been exciting, Los Angeles Department of Water & Power water diversions will soon begin chipping away at the progress made. Read more by clicking on the featured story on monolake.org.
