Zakary Cobia

The Great Salt Lake is part of my home. It's my backyard. My home is being taken away, basically. The lake is a safe space for me, and watching it slowly disappear, it's very heartbreaking.

Zakary Cobia has lived in various places on the west side of the Great Salt Lake Basin, including Magna, Kearns, and Tooele. He enjoys having lunch and coffee at the lake. Cobia grew up swimming in Great Salt Lake, climbing on Black Rock, and recreating on the salt flats with his family.
