… Formed in 1993, the Salton Sea Authority serves as a central hub where local leaders, agencies, and community members bring ideas for projects like trail systems and community-centric developments. The Authority plays a crucial role in aligning these ideas with the overarching restoration plan. In an interview with NBC Palm Springs, the Authority’s CEO discussed a significant new initiative: a $22.3 million comprehensive feasibility study. The study will help develop a realistic, achievable ecosystem restoration plan for the entire Salton Sea, based on available resources. “Recently, we signed an agreement to implement a longer-term feasibility study,” the CEO explained. “It will effectively develop a feasible and achievable ecosystem restoration plan for the entire sea based on the resources that are available.”
