The public and all interested stakeholders will have multiple opportunities to learn about, provide input on and influence the development of the Salton Sea SRA General Plan. These include stakeholder meetings, public workshops, surveys, community engagement events, virtual engagement activities, and opportunities to review and comment on draft planning documents.

California State Parks will provide notification of public engagement opportunities through a variety of channels, including updates to this web page, signage, flyers, email blasts and social media posts.
