Lake Effect with John Luft, the Great Salt Lake Ecosystem Program Manager. "The Ecosystem Program basically manages the brine shrimp fishery on Great Salt Lake as well as oversees all of the waterfowl management areas that are around Great Salt Lake. I always mention that we're basically sea monkey biologists."
Lake Effect is part of the Great Salt Lake Collaborative, a solutions journalism initiative that partners news, education and media organizations, including KRCL, to help inform people about the plight of the Great Salt Lake—and what can be done to make a difference before it is too late.
