From the shores of Southern California’s troubled Salton Sea.

As farmers let their fields go fallow in order to sell water to nearby towns, there is now limited agricultural runoff feeding into California's distressed Salton Sea. This decrease in the water supply was exacerbated by last year’s extreme drought conditions in California, leading to serious concerns about the lake's increasing salinity.
The seashore has receded significantly. The fish in the Salton Sea have been nearly wiped out due to oxygen-depleted waters. Massive fish die-offs struck for years with an estimate of 7 million (!!!) fish dying on a single hot day in August of 1999. Then the shoreline was littered with millions of dead fish which eventually rotted away.

Today the white shore of the Salton Sea is made up of a mixture dead barnacles, pulverized fish bones and some real sand.
