Drought Negatively Impacting Great Salt Lake Microbialites and Ecosystem

Microbialites in Bridger Bay, northern Antelope Island, populate elevations between about 4190 and 4195 ft, with the densest accumulation at about 4192 to 4193 ft. This photograph was taken on July 1, 2021, when lake elevation was at 4191.8 ft, showing the deepest population of microbialites in the bay, which were covered with only about one foot of water. Lake levels are projected to drop even farther this coming fall, exposing nearly the entire population of microbialites in Bridger Bay.
