The Sea Next Door

From Northern California Public Media and Mensch Media, this
edition of Living Downstream is guest hosted by Molly Peterson.


This time, from the Coachella Valley, east of Los Angeles,
we’re talking about the biggest lake in California — now
starved of water — and the people who live around The
Sea Next Door. 


The Salton Sea sits in a depression of land 30 miles from the
Mexican border — and it poses a growing threat to public
health. In this episode, two young women from the Eastern
Coachella Valley introduce us to their neighbor. 


We begin with Adriana Torres, who lives in a rural community
there: an area called North Shore. We'll also hear from her
classmate Rosa Gonzalez.
