A Crisis That Unites Us
The Great Salt Lake is at a tipping point. As one of Utah’s most important natural and economic resources, it influences everything from public health and biodiversity to industry and recreation. But the lake is shrinking—due to outdated water laws, rising temperatures, and fragmented efforts.
The Great Salt Lake Alliance (GSLA) exists to change that. We bring together conservation groups, agriculture, business leaders, and policymakers under a shared agenda. Our approach is nonpartisan and economy-first, focused on advancing durable, long-term solutions that protect the lake—and with it, Utah’s future.
The Great Salt Lake by the Numbers
THE REALITY IS SIMPLE.
Saving the Great Salt Lake is Securing Utah’s Future
The lake isn’t just a symbol of Utah’s identity—it’s a working asset that supports jobs, communities, and entire industries. As water levels continue to decline, the risks grow more severe. Toxic dust storms, vanishing habitats, and reduced economic output are no longer distant possibilities—they’re happening now. GSLA is committed to aligning the right partners, policies, and strategies to make sure Utah’s economy and environment remain resilient for decades to come
Saving the Great Salt Lake Takes Everyone
The Great Salt Lake plays a central role in Utah’s identity and vitality, but without immediate action, the consequences will be felt across the state.
All of Utah Working Together
Government, Community Organizations, Utah Business, Individuals. Saving the Great Salt Lake will take everyone including organizations like these.
