Project Name

The Unleashing of the Colorado River

Project Description

In the spring of 2014, the US and Mexico unleashed the flow of the Colorado River, which originally emptied into the Sea of Cortex (Gulf of California). Many eyes will be watching to see if the delta can be restored after the river was dammed in the early 1900's. So many organizations, researchers, individuals, communities, states, and even countries are vested in this experiment - as is the delta ecosystem itself.
