Aquatic Habitat
In April 2021, the State entered a $19.25M (Prop 68) funding agreement with the Salton Sea Authority (SSA) to plan and construct the North Lake Pilot Demonstration Project. This project will be jointly developed by the SSMP, the SSA, and Riverside County. The project consists of an approximately 156-acre lake located at the northern end of the Salton Sea, in Riverside County near the unincorporated community of North Shore. The project will provide both shallow and deep-water habitat, suppress dust by the creation of the lake, and provide recreational benefits. The project could be designed as either freshwater or brackish water habitat.
