The Coalition to save the ELA says the government is working to privatize the Experimental Lakes Area.
Coalition Director Diane Orihel says negotiations are underway to sell the ELA.
Orihel adds that the buyer does not want to be named during the negotiations.
In the meantime, she says the possible sale of the Experimental Lakes Area has scientists guessing about the future.
Coalition to save the ELA says the scientists working in the ELA have not be informed about any changes the sale might bring.
