The Public Action Network

The Public Action network is a growing movement of community members willing to take a stand for Great Salt Lake. We are creating a collaborative conduit linking public will with communal action through a coordinated program of education, community organization, and cultivation of lake leaders throughout the watershed. PAN members are more than just names on a mailing list. Our team of organizers meets with interested individuals to help understand your role in the Lake’s revival and create individualized engagement plans to turn your passion into action! Regardless of your background, time, or resources, you can be a part of protecting Great Salt Lake’s future. Schedule a meeting with the Grow the Flow team and join the Public Action Network today.  

The Water Policy Accelerator

The Water Policy Accelerator is a team of environmental lawyers and policy experts working on drafting legislation to conserve and shepherd water to Great Salt Lake. The Accelerator is comparing existing water policies across the country, evaluating approaches being used in Utah, and creating new policy frameworks at local, state, and federal levels. As a nonpartisan and independent organization, the accelerator can rapidly vet specific legislation and comprehensive conservation scenarios with experts and policymakers.

The Research Bridge

The Research Bridge is assembling a team of social and natural scientists, practitioners, and institutes to synthesize actionable knowledge about Great Salt Lake and terminal lakes globally. By doing so, the Bridge can rapidly assess the watershed’s human and natural dimensions, enabling strategic restoration of the lake.The Bridge is developing grant proposals to secure state and federal funding for a major synthesis effort. As the Bridge answers Great Salt Lake’s hydrological, economic, cultural, and ecological unknowns, we can share these findings and aid in efforts to save saline lakes across the globe.
