The Tijuana River Watershed in the San Diego - Tijuana transboundary region<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

is steeped in rich multicultural identities that date back thousands of years. The River holds paramount significance for both inland and coastal communities and the delicate ecosystems it traverses.<\/p>

Yet, despite its cultural, ecological, and geopolitical importance, this complex and beautiful region is plagued with severe transboundary pollution, impacting 20 miles of international coastline and millions of residents throughout the region. Every year billions of gallons of toxic waste carrying raw sewage, industrial chemicals, and trash flow across the U.S.\/Mexico border through the Tijuana River Watershed and out into the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
