San Diego Climate Week: Exploring Ecosystems and Water Pollution at the Tijuana River Estuary

Join us for an interactive walk and panel at the Tijuana River Estuary, Southern California's largest wetlands, where we will delve into the unique ecosystem and discuss the transboundary water crisis. The afternoon's activities include:

- ​A guided walk which will highlight the resilience of the Tijuana Estuary as well as the incredible ecosystem services estuaries provide, such as mitigating climate change. The walk will also be a fantastic opportunity to observe the diverse plant communities and wildlife that depend on this protected wetland.

- ​Interact with non-profit organizations who work on the Tijuana River pollution crisis in various capacities: as advocates, on restoration efforts, or to educate the public on the issue.

- ​A panel discussion led by WildCoast, Sierra Club San Diego, and San Diego Coastkeeper with nonprofit leaders and elected officials working together on a complex bi-national water pollution crisis. This pollution crisis is a culmination of infrastructure degradation, rapid urbanization, and multi-jurisdiction management challenges. This panel will provide insight into the challenges, successes, and opportunities to solve this.
