SACRAMENTO ~ The Biden-Harris Administration has announced the first major federal investment for the State of California to accelerate the restoration of the Salton Sea. The $70 million in funding is part of a $250 million commitment from the Inflation Reduction Act, which complements the more than $500 million in state funding secured to date.
Governor Gavin Newsom highlighted this investment, which will be used to enhance wildlife habitat, protect public health and improve water quality at the lake. The reduced water levels and increased salinity have had a negative impact on habitat for wildlife, including birds travelling the Pacific flyway.
The $70 million will be used to expand the state's Species Conservation Habitat Project, creating a network of ponds and wetlands over 4,000 acres to provide fish and bird habitat and suppress dust emissions. This federal funding will enable the expansion of the project at the southern edge of the sea.
