The Salton Sea Management Program Reconvenes the Science Committee
Also: SSMP Long-Range Planning Committee to Meet March 2
Salton Sea Management Program Update – February 16, 2022
The Salton Sea Management Program (SSMP) is reconvening the SSMP Science Committee for a virtual kick-off meeting via Zoom on Thursday, February 17, at 1 pm. The committee will provide independent scientific review of various plans being developed for resource management at the Salton Sea. The committee is composed of scientists with specialized expertise in key resources (hydrology and water quality, geography, air quality, biological resources, and socioeconomics) related to the Salton Sea and/or experience with the application of scientific data to environmental management.
As part of its first task in 2022, the committee will be charged with scientific review of the Draft Monitoring Implementation Plan (MIP). The Draft MIP will guide measurement of important resources and provide a monitoring framework and priorities for environmental indicators at the Salton Sea. In 2021, the Draft MIP was developed through working groups with input from agencies and stakeholders with expertise and monitoring experience in hydrology, air quality, water quality, biology, and socioeconomics.
During the kick-off meeting the SSMP team will introduce the committee, provide background on the MIP purpose and development process, and solicit input and questions from the public.
