Title: So what’s the plan? An interactive session to shape the future of Great Salt Lake
Abstract: The Great Salt Lake Basin Integrated Plan (GSLBIP) will be a roadmap for managing water across all the GSL Basin watersheds in ways that promote a healthy lake and a high quality of life in the Basin. This interactive session will give you the opportunity to add your voice to the GSLBIP by sharing your priorities for the lake and suggesting strategies that should be included in the GSLBIP. The GSLBIP will only work if we all play a part in creating the plan, so come learn about the GSLBIP process, provide some input, and help shape the future of Great Salt Lake.
