The Grain Project

Are you curious about what is going on with the Salton Sea? There is a workshop being held in Irvine THIS THURSDAY hosted by the Salton Sea Initiative to discuss these issues and gather public comment.
The Salton Sea is shrinking, and in desperate need of a management solution. If no action is taken, there will be: large increases in wind-blown dust and “rotten-egg” smells, increases in respiratory disease and associated concerns, and significant impacts to migratory birds and other species.
This is a Southern California regional issue. Public outreach meetings are being held in Imperial, Coachella, Riverside, Orange, and Los Angeles Counties to provide information and receive community feedback. Come participate to learn how Salton Sea Management impacts Orange County.
