(Senator Steve Padilla introduces legislation)...SB 583 would create the Salton Sea Conservancy.

It would be created within the National Resources Agency, which would then manage all the conservation projects taking place in the Salton Sea Region. The Senator says conservancies have the ability to foster trust with the region they serve. He says creating the Salton Sea Conservancy would provide the surrounding community a direct link to a central entity, giving them further insight into restoration efforts.
