The Great Salt Lake is near record low water levels, creating problems for the wildlife and business interests that depend on Utah's salty sea.

On Monday at 12:15 p.m., Lynn de Freitas of Friends of the Great Salt Lake, Jaimi Butler of the Great Salt Lake Institute at Westminster College and Tribune reporter Brian Maffly join Jennifer Napier-Pearce to discuss why the lake continues to shrink and what's at stake for the lake's entire ecosystem.
