(Bruce Wilcox honored)…It happened last Thursday.

At the Board meeting of the Salton Sea Authority a resolution was passed honoring out-going Assistant Secretary of Salton Sea policy Bruce Wilcox for a career devoted to trying to better the Salton Sea. The resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote of the SSA Board of Directors. Wilcox, who was present for the resolution, was appointed to serve as assistant secretary within the California Natural Resources Agency in 2015 under the Governor Brown administration. It was a new post within the CNRA, created in the wake of Governor Brown’s formation of a Salton Sea Task Force to recommend stepped-up efforts at the sea. Wilcox’s efforts led to what is now the Salton Sea Management Program, the state’s phased approach to restoration of the Salton Sea.
