But fish aren't the only concerns the lake is facing.

"First, Utah Lake is really shallow," said Dick Osgood, from Minnesota-based Osgood Consulting, "It's so shallow the fish are sunburned."

He also mentioned the conflicts between the various jurisdictions, plus other issues, such as the June sucker preservation, water diversion, water quality and future development.

In order to best address those issues, the governments, groups and interested parties must have "a clear vision and a sound development strategy," he said.

"We can work together at the various levels if we're organized enough and driven enough," said Reed Harris, director of the June Sucker Recovery Implementation Program.
