History
Established in 1978.
The Mono Lake Committee is a non-profit citizen’s group dedicated to protecting and restoring the Mono Basin Ecosystem, educating the public about Mono Lake and the impacts on the environment of excessive water use, and promoting cooperative solutions that protect Mono Lake and meet real water needs without transferring environmental problems to other areas.
Since 1978, the Committee has fought to protect Mono Lake from excessive water diversions to Los Angeles. Through litigation, legislation, cooperation, and most importantly, public support, our efforts have been successful so far. However, the fight to protect and restore Mono Lake is far from over. Join the Mono Lake Committee’s 16,000 members and become a part of this effort! The Mono Lake Committee is a non-profit 501©(3) organization and donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
