 Great Salt Lake Divided - Utah Geological Survey
One of the main effects of declining salinity on the lake’s ecological health was a decline in the brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) population, determined in part by the quantity and quality of the cysts collected during the annual brine-shrimp-cyst harvest.
Because of these concerns, the State intensified its study of the lake system to determine (1) the cause(s) for the decline in south-arm salinity, (2) the effects of declining salinity on the overall ecology of the lake, and (3) what could be done to minimize or reverse the decline.
To reverse the salinity decline in the south arm of the lake, the causeway breach was deepened in 2000 to increase the return flow of high-salinity brine from the north arm into the south arm, which hopefully will restore some balance to the complex Great Salt Lake ecosystem.
