Great Salt Lake

With 4400km2, it is the largest saline lake in the West. Situated in Utah, USA, it is home to a large number of bird species. A railroad crosses the lake, dividing it into two parts – the southern and northern arms – and has a major impact on salinity. This also depends on the water level.

South of the railway bridge, cyanobacteria give the waters a greenish color. This region concentrates 35 to 45% of the world trade in brine shrimp (small crustaceans used to feed fish). The mangroves are home to birds such as the peregrine falcon, seagulls, ducks, geese, swans and pelicans. The waters on the north side have a pinkish color, due to the presence of microalgae

Dunaliella salina, as well as archaea and bacteria.
