Mono Lake Committee

The Mono Lake Committee is a dedicated organization focused on the protection and restoration of Mono Lake, an ancient saline lake located at the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada in California. Since 1978, the committee has worked to ensure balanced water solutions that benefit both the environment and local communities while educating future generations about sustainable water use. Home to a diverse ecosystem including brine shrimp, numerous bird species, and iconic tufa towers, Mono Lake is not only a natural wonder but also an essential water source for Los Angeles. Through ongoing advocacy and restoration efforts, the Mono Lake Committee aims to preserve this unique landscape and its surrounding tributary streams for years to come. Generated from the website
