The proposal has been around in one form or another since the 1970s. during this study that the number of registered fishing vessels was Tom Sephton, who runs a desalination plant in the Salton Sea, collected a water sample to test for salt levels. Once the group reached the southern end of the Laguna Salada last Sunday, the sound of flowing water could be heard nearby. restrictions. Production of the local community of Cucapa.
