The Moulton Sea is a large, shallow body of water located in the southern part of the Salton Sea basin in California. It was formed as a result of the flooding of the area, primarily due to agricultural runoff and the overflow of the Colorado River. The sea is characterized by its high salinity and mineral content, which affects the local ecosystem. The Moulton Sea is part of the larger Salton Sea ecosystem, which supports various wildlife, including migratory birds. However, the area faces environmental challenges, such as declining water levels and increasing salinity, which threaten the habitat and biodiversity of the region.
