Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

California's largest inland body of water, the Salton Sea, is suffering from decreasing water levels. Water transfers in Southern California are responsible for the current status of the Salton Sea. Addressing the responsibility of the State of California in restoration of the Salton Sea, inaction at the state level continues to perpetuate the slow violence of health issues in Imperial Valley. Analyzing the framing of the ecological devastation of the borderlands of Southern California, mainstream white environmentalism continue's to pervade the agenda to restore a shrinking sea.
