Though I must say the idea that a port in the Salton Sea area would supplant the proposed port at Colonet is appealing, for my own selfish reasons anyway (the Colonet mesa and environs is an amazing juxtaposition of several floristic areas).

....and, if sea levels are really going to rise from climate change the sea will be recreated on its own. This map shows that even with a 3 foot rise that the ocean will get into the Salton Sink...wow, if true. http://geology.com/sea-level-rise/

I had to go to 13 meters above sea level to see the Salton Sea and Gulf connect? I think it is just using a computer to show additions to sea levels... note the Dead Sea and Death Valley are also filled with water, but not connect to the sea.

What ever happened to the project to make a boat passage north from the sea of C to the inland seas?

Slab City comes of age?


Think about the opportunity for the noble citizens of The Slabs.
California splits into six states, the Salton Seaport becomes a reality and Slab City is the new capitol city of SoCalDesertState.

I think you're right, that sounds much more realistic.

Exactly why I am compelled to respond to other popular hysteria of this age... to find what is real and not made up!
