Salton Sea Shores Climate & Equity Project I

United For Justice, Inc. and its community partners are leading the “Salton Sea Shores Climate and Equity Project I” to improve environmental and public health conditions in Bombay Beach, Niland, Salton Sea Beach, and Salton City. The project has planted 266 trees, installed indoor air‑quality monitors, and provides education to reduce pollution and strengthen community resilience. Through meetings, resident engagement, and collaboration with agencies such as CALFIRE, the initiative strengthens climate resilience and expands resources for communities that have long faced disinvestment and environmental burdens. 

The Salton Sea Basin Monitoring Network includes three AQ Mesh monitors located in Bombay Beach, Calipatria, and Salton Sea Beach. These monitors track key air pollutants, and a real‑time air‑quality map will be available on our website so residents can easily check current conditions and take precautions when needed. The network measures PM1, PM2.5, PM10, nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), and sulfur dioxide (SO₂), with plans to expand as additional funding becomes available.
