On any given nice day in Moab, you’re likely to run into lots of different activity at the town boat ramp. “It runs the full gamut of user groups, and it can get pretty crowded sometimes,” said Tony Mancuso with Utah DNR. He and many other local stakeholders are hoping to improve boater safety and user experience with a new ramp. Plus, the federal government’s pandemic response program to fund free school meals for all students is set to expire at the end of June. And, a USU study is looking at how dust blowing off dry Great Salt Lake beds contributes to pollution.
